Jacobson Micro Instrument

Description

Jacobson Micro Instrument

The Jacobson micro instrument is a slender tool for fine work under the operating microscope. Neurosurgeons and microvascular surgeons use it to handle, dissect and position small structures.

Part of a microsurgical family

Jacobson helped pioneer microvascular technique, and several instruments carry his name. This piece sits within that family. So it shares its 18 cm length with our Jacobson probes and suture pusher.

Size and details

We list one size, 18 cm. Because catalog drawings differ between makers, we suggest you contact us for a clear photo of the tip before ordering. Then you can confirm it matches the pattern your surgeon expects.

Typical uses

Microsurgery calls for tools that move tissue with very little force. For instance, a surgeon may use a micro instrument to separate a small vessel from a nerve or to tease apart adhesions. Meanwhile, suction and coagulation forceps work beside it.

Choosing micro tools

Surgeons tend to prefer tools that feel alike in the hand. Therefore it helps to keep lengths consistent across a micro set. If you already use 18 cm instruments, the instrument fits right in.

Caring for your Jacobson micro instrument

Treat the tip like any fine microsurgical tool. Clean it gently with a soft brush or cloth rather than an abrasive pad. Also, keep it apart from heavy instruments in the washer. Finally, dry the tool and run it through sterilization inside a micro tray.
