Penfield dissector 7 double-ended size #3, fully curved dissector, wax packer round handle

Versatile Double-Ended Access for Controlled Dissection

The Penfield dissector 7" double-ended size #3 is designed for dissection and related fine handling tasks where a curved working profile and balanced manual control are useful. Its fully curved dissector end supports access around tissue planes and structures, while the opposite wax packer end adds practical versatility within the same instrument. The round handle is suited to familiar hand positioning during detail-oriented work. Appropriate for professional workflows in General Surgery and Neurosurgery, this specialty-neutral dissector helps reduce the need to exchange instruments between compatible tasks while maintaining a focused, straightforward setup.

Use Cases

• Perform controlled dissection with the fully curved dissector end in General Surgery workflows.
• Support delicate access and tissue-plane work in Neurosurgery settings where a curved profile is appropriate.
• Use the double-ended design to transition between dissection and wax packing tasks without reaching for a separate instrument.
• Apply wax with the dedicated packer end during workflows requiring a round-handled wax packer configuration.
• Use the 7" overall length where a longer instrument format supports practical reach within the operative field.
