Design & Function
The Dilator features a straight working configuration designed to provide a specialized orientation during tissue dilation. The 0.2 mm diameter allows for controlled insertion, while the 9 mm tip can assist in expanding tissue pathways according to the requirements of the operative field.
The 0.2 mm diameter provides a defined dilation profile, while the 5 1/4-inch overall length allows controlled manual positioning. Together, these dimensions provide a practical configuration for neurosurgical procedures requiring a straight dilator.
Surgical Applications
The 5 1/4″ Dilator may be used for neurosurgical and spinal surgery applications involving gradual tissue dilation. Specific use depends on the surgical procedure, technique, anatomical site, and preference of the clinical team.
Handling & Instrument Care
Inspect the dilator before use, paying particular attention to the working end and tip alignment. Ensure the instrument is properly aligned and free from visible damage or wear before use.
After use, clean and process the instrument according to the manufacturer's validated instructions and the healthcare facility's established instrument-processing protocols. Store the dilator appropriately to protect its working end and prevent unnecessary contact with other instruments.
