Olivecrona Dura Dissector D/E 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise separation and mobilization of the dura mater during cranial and spinal neurosurgical procedures. The instrument is used to develop a plane between the dura and underlying tissues, elevate dural edges after craniotomy, assist in freeing focal adhesions, and facilitate access for microsurgical dissection or hematoma evacuation. Its slender profile and atraumatic working ends help protect neural and vascular structures when working in confined operative corridors.

Design & Configuration

The double-ended D/E configuration provides two complementary working tips on a single instrument, allowing the surgeon to change functional approaches without exchanging instruments. The 18 cm overall length balances reach into the cranial cavity or spinal canal with tactile control at the tip. Atraumatic blunt ends minimize the risk of dural tears while enabling controlled blunt dissection around delicate anatomy.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: dura dissector
• Pattern / model: Olivecrona Dura Dissector D/E
