Agris-Dingman Breast Dissector

Description

Agris-Dingman Breast Dissector

The Agris-Dingman dissector shapes the breast pocket through a small incision. Each side has its own curve, so left and right dissectors mirror each other.

Left, right or pair

You can buy a single left, a single right or a matched pair. The pair suits bilateral cases. Meanwhile, single pieces replace a lost side.

Why mirrored curves

The chest wall curves differently on each side. A mirrored dissector follows that shape. As a result, pockets come out symmetric.

Length of the Agris-Dingman dissector

Both sides measure 36 cm. Moreover, that reaches the pocket from the fold or areola. Also, the long handle gives good leverage.

Typical use

Augmentation and revision surgery rely on it. It also suits pocket adjustments. Besides, many surgeons keep a pair on the tray.

Technique

Insert along the planned plane and sweep in arcs. Then use the matching side on the other breast. Compare both outlines before placing sizers.

Before the first case

Check that the left and right pieces are marked clearly. In addition, lay them side by side so the curves mirror each other. That way the scrub team hands over the correct side without delay.

Agris-Dingman dissector options

Care

Clean each dissector and dry fully. Store left and right together. Then check the tips for nicks.

The support for the dissector

Each dissector goes through a careful look at our Atlanta site before it ships. Purchasers get three years against manufacturing defects with each dissector beyond our checks. Further designs are in the general instrument list. A spare dissector on standby avoids delays. The common questions page goes over most buying questions. For details on surgical stainless steel, look up ASTM F899. Many buyers also look at our McCollum-Dingman dissector.
