Caspar Micro Dissector

Description

Caspar Micro Dissector

The Caspar micro dissector is a fine instrument for separating tissue under the microscope. Spine surgeons use it to free nerve roots and to lift disc fragments during microdiscectomy.

Fine dissection in the spine

Microsurgical spine work leaves very little room. So, the surgeon needs a thin, precise tip. This dissector gently separates tissue layers without pulling hard on nearby structures.

Six tip and length options

We offer a 1.0 mm tip at 20 cm, a 4.5 mm tip at 20 or 23 cm, and a 2.0 mm tip at 23 cm. In addition, a 1.0 mm tip comes in left and right versions at 21 cm. That makes six options in all.

Where it fits in a case

For example, the surgeon might use a 1.0 mm tip to free a nerve root. Then a wider tip can sweep disc fragments toward a rongeur. Meanwhile, the left and right versions help reach around structures on either side.

Choosing tips

First, consider the size of the spaces you work in. A small tip suits tight corners, whereas a wider tip moves more tissue. If you work on both sides of the canal, the left and right pair makes sense.

Caring for your Caspar micro dissector

Clean the tip gently after use, because fine tips bend easily. Next, rinse and brush the shaft. Finally, dry the dissector and place it in a protected tray for sterilization.
