Penfield Dissector Size 4 for Tissue Separation and Dissection

Controlled Tissue Separation for General and Neurosurgical Workflows

The Penfield Dissector Size 4 is a surgical dissector intended for tissue separation and dissection. Its focused instrument profile supports deliberate manipulation when clinicians need to define tissue planes, separate structures, or prepare an area for further operative work. As part of the dissector family, it can serve practical tasks in both General Surgery and Neurosurgery, where controlled tissue handling and clear access are important to an organized workflow. The instrument is suited to careful, task-specific dissection rather than broad tissue manipulation, helping teams select an appropriately designated tool for procedures requiring precise separation and exposure.

Use Cases

• Separate tissue planes during general surgical dissection.
• Support controlled tissue separation and exposure in neurosurgical procedures.
• Use for focused dissection when a designated Penfield dissector is appropriate.
• Assist with careful manipulation of tissue during operative preparation and access.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the instrument according to facility protocols and the applicable manufacturer instructions.
• Inspect the dissector before and after use for visible soil, damage, or changes that could affect handling.
• Handle carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help protect the instrument and surrounding equipment.
• Store in a clean, dry, protected location after processing.
