Dissectors

Dissection in Anterior Cervical Approaches

In anterior cervical discectomy and fusion, used to treat cervical disc herniation, degenerative disc disease, and spinal instability, dissectors are essential for working around sensitive neural and vascular structures. Penfield dissectors, Freer elevators, and a Woodson instrument are commonly used together to mobilize tissue gently and open a clear path to the disc space.

Access in Posterior Lumbar Surgery

Posterior lumbar approaches, used for conditions such as lumbar stenosis, spondylolisthesis, and degenerative disc disease, rely on Cobb elevators to strip paraspinal muscle away from bone cleanly, with continual attention to protecting adjacent nerve roots throughout the exposure.

The Instrument Range

The set includes Penfield dissectors in graduated tip styles for varying degrees of delicacy, Freer elevators for fine soft tissue separation, Woodson elevators for combined dissection and retraction, Cobb elevators for stripping muscle from bone, and Dandy hooks for controlled retraction of nerve roots and dura.

Built to Last

Every dissector is engineered to withstand repeated reprocessing cycles while meeting infection control standards, giving Canadian surgical programs an instrument set that holds its edge and finish over years of use. EB MED CO is pleased to make this German-made dissector range available across Canada.
