6 1/2″ Lemmon Intima Dissector – slight cve

6 1/2″ Lemmon Intima Dissector – Slight Curve is a precision vascular instrument commonly used by vascular surgeons, cardiovascular surgeons, and microsurgical specialists during arterial endarterectomy and vascular reconstruction procedures. The instrument is specifically designed to facilitate atraumatic separation of the intimal layer from the arterial wall during endarterectomy. Its precision-crafted slightly curved dissecting tip enables controlled elevation and mobilization of the intima while minimizing trauma to surrounding vascular structures. Featuring a slight-curve working end and a slender shaft, the dissector offers improved access to vascular anatomy while maintaining a high degree of visibility and instrument control. The subtle curvature assists surgeons in establishing and maintaining the correct dissection plane between the intima and the underlying arterial layers, particularly in areas requiring delicate maneuvering. With an overall length of 6 1/2 inches (approximately 16.5 cm), the instrument provides excellent balance, maneuverability, and tactile sensitivity during intricate vascular procedures. The ergonomic handle ensures a secure grip and precise control, allowing surgeons to perform meticulous vascular dissections with confidence. Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Lemmon Intima Dissector offers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and dependable long-term performance. The satin low-glare finish minimizes reflections under operating room lighting while facilitating efficient cleaning and maintenance. Widely used in hospitals, cardiovascular centers, and teaching institutions, this instrument is an essential component of vascular surgery instrument sets. Fully reusable and autoclavable, the 6 1/2″ Lemmon Intima Dissector – Slight Curve is designed to withstand repeated sterilization cycles while maintaining structural integrity, tip precision, and consistent performance. Common Clinical Applications Include: Carotid Endarterectomy Peripheral Arterial Endarterectomy Vascular Reconstruction Procedures Arterial Plaque Removal Intimal Layer Separation Peripheral Vascular Surgery Cardiovascular Procedures Microsurgical Vascular Dissection Arterial Repair Procedures Educational and Training Applications Specifications Feature Details Product Name 6 1/2″ Lemmon Intima Dissector – Slight Curve Instrument Type Vascular Dissector Function Intimal Layer Separation and Vascular Tissue Dissection Tip Design Slightly Curved Working Tip Overall Length 6 1/2 in (approximately 16.5 cm) Handle Design Ergonomic Surgical Handle Application Vascular and Cardiovascular Surgery Material Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel Finish Satin Low-Glare Finish Sterilization Fully Sterilizable and Autoclavable Reusability Reusable Performance Precise Vascular Tissue Manipulation and Enhanced Access Frequently Asked Questions What is the 6 1/2″ Lemmon Intima Dissector – Slight Curve used for?
