Clinical Application
Designed for atraumatic dissection and controlled manipulation of blood vessels during vascular and related soft-tissue procedures. The narrow 3 mm blunt tip is intended to lift and separate vessel adventitia and surrounding connective tissue with minimal risk of intimal injury, making it useful for vessel mobilization, preparation of vessel ends for anastomosis, creation of a clear vessel plane, and passing sutures or ties adjacent to delicate structures. Common applications include peripheral vascular surgery, access preparation for bypass and grafting, arteriovenous fistula creation, and microsurgical vessel handling where a low-profile, non-cutting instrument is required.
Design & Configuration
The single-ended spatula profile concentrates a slim, blunt working edge into a 3 mm width to provide precise tissue separation while spreading pressure over a short area to reduce focal trauma. The 21.5 cm overall length affords sufficient reach into deeper operative fields while preserving tactile control at the handle. The blunt edged geometry is intentionally non-cutting to protect vessel intima during blunt dissection and elevation of tissue planes. The S/E designation identifies the single-ended spatula configuration favored in vascular instrument sets.
