Samii Tumor Knife

Description

Samii Tumor Knife

The Samii tumor knife cuts and dissects tumor tissue in neurosurgery. Surgeons use it under the microscope to separate a tumor from surrounding structures.

A knife for microsurgery

Tumor surgery often needs sharp dissection in a deep, narrow space. So the Samii knife gives the surgeon a small blade on a long handle. Then they can make exact cuts close to delicate tissue.

Lengths and blades

We offer the knife in 20 and 23 cm lengths. Blade sizes run from 1.0 to 6.0 mm, with 21 options in total. Because not every blade comes in both lengths, contact us to confirm a combination.

In a tumor resection

Surgeons often hold the tumor with a fork or grasping forceps first. Next, they cut with the knife along the tumor border. Finally, they lift the freed piece out and continue.

Choosing blade sizes

Small blades suit fine dissection near vessels and nerves. On the other hand, larger blades cut through bulk tissue faster. Most surgeons therefore pick a spread of two or three sizes.

Caring for your Samii tumor knife

Keep the blade covered whenever you handle or carry it. After use, clean it carefully with a soft brush in neutral detergent, working away from the edge. Dry it fully, then sterilize it with the blade protected.

Ordering the Samii knife

This knife comes under our three-year warranty whenever a defect in workmanship shows up. We inspect every blade by hand in Atlanta, then pack it with care. Common queries have answers on our FAQ page. Surgical instrument steel has its standard in ASTM F899. To steady tissue while you cut, add the Okonek-Yasargil tumor fork. Otherwise, see the neurosurgery listing for more.

For professional use only. Because photos of small blades can mislead, the care guidance explains them and nickel within the metal. Our shipping details give transit times.
