Penfield dissector 8 3/4 size #4, slightly curved dissector hexagonal handle

Controlled Access for General and Neurosurgical Dissection

The Penfield dissector 8 3/4" size #4 is a hand-held surgical instrument designed for controlled dissection and tissue separation. Its slightly curved profile supports access around anatomical structures, while the hexagonal handle provides a defined grip for deliberate positioning and manipulation. The 8 3/4" length offers useful reach within the operative field without requiring an extended instrument format. Suitable for general surgery and neurosurgery applications, this dissector supports careful handling during tasks that call for precision, access, and responsive instrument control.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled dissection and tissue separation in general surgical procedures.
• Apply the slightly curved profile when working around anatomical structures or within a contoured operative field.
• Use the defined hexagonal handle to support steady positioning and controlled manual manipulation.
• Support neurosurgical dissection tasks where a Penfield dissector is appropriate for the procedure.
• Use the 8 3/4" overall length when additional reach within the operative field is useful.
