Yasargil Micro Instrument

Description

Yasargil Micro Instrument

The Yasargil micro instrument is an 18 cm hand instrument from the Yasargil microneurosurgery family. Surgeons use instruments of this family under the microscope for fine dissection and manipulation.

Part of the Yasargil family

Gazi Yasargil shaped much of modern microneurosurgery, and many instruments carry his name. So a instrument will sit comfortably beside Yasargil dissectors, probes and knives. Therefore, their lengths and feel tend to match.

Size and details

We list this item at 18 cm. However, the listing does not name the exact tip pattern. Therefore, please get in touch first so we can describe the working end and send extra photos.

Where it fits

Microsurgical sets gather small, specialized tools, each with a narrow job. For example, one tool may hook a membrane while another spreads a plane. This instrument adds to that toolkit once you confirm its pattern suits your work.

Before you buy

First, compare the photos on this page with the instrument you want to replace. If they match, you can order with confidence. If not, send us a picture of yours, and we will look for the right Yasargil pattern.

Caring for your Yasargil micro instrument

Treat the tip gently at every step, since it is fine. Rinse it after surgery, then clean it with a soft cloth instead of a stiff brush. Finally, dry it and sterilize it in a protective holder.
