Olivecrona Dura Dissector D/E 24cm

Clinical Application

Designed for fine, atraumatic separation of the dura mater and adjacent tissues during cranial procedures. The instrument's blunt, olive-shaped working ends allow surgeons to mobilize and reflect dura, open subdural spaces, and perform controlled dissection around neurovascular structures without sharp cutting. Common applications include open cranial exposures, tumor approaches, skull-base dissections, and microsurgical dural work where delicate tissue handling is required.

Design & Configuration

The double-ended (D/E) configuration provides two complementary working tips on a single shaft, allowing rapid transition between slightly different geometries or angles without instrument exchange. At 24 cm overall length the instrument is long enough for deep cranial and skull-base access while maintaining tactile feedback and fine control. The olive-shaped, atraumatic profile disperses pressure over a broader surface to reduce focal tissue trauma during blunt dissection and elevation of the dura.

Instrument Specifications

• Dissector type: blunt, atraumatic olive-profile ends
• Configuration: double-ended (D/E) for two working styles
• Overall length: 24 cm
• Typical use: dural and arachnoid dissection in cranial surgery
• Construction: surgical-grade stainless steel, reusable

Material & Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance and repeated sterilization. Precision-forged construction and a slim shaft profile preserve tactile feedback important for delicate neurosurgical maneuvers. Intended for repeated reuse following validated sterilization processes (steam autoclave compatible).

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.

Brand Comparison

Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
