7 1/4″ Watson-Cheyne Probe u. Dissector, double-ended

7 1/4″ Watson-Cheyne Probe and Dissector – Double-Ended is a precision vascular instrument commonly used by vascular surgeons, cardiovascular surgeons, and microsurgical specialists during carotid and peripheral arterial endarterectomy procedures. The instrument is specifically designed to facilitate controlled separation of atherosclerotic plaque and the arterial intimal layer while minimizing trauma to surrounding vascular structures. The double-ended design combines a fine probe tip for vessel exploration and identification with a precision dissector tip for developing and maintaining the endarterectomy plane. Featuring a slender shaft and dual working ends, the instrument allows surgeons to assess vascular anatomy, locate the correct dissection plane, and elevate the intimal layer without requiring multiple instrument exchanges. The probe end assists in gentle exploration of the vessel lumen, while the dissector end enables controlled mobilization of plaque and separation of the intima from the arterial wall. With an overall length of 7 1/4 inches (approximately 18.4 cm), the instrument provides excellent balance, maneuverability, and tactile sensitivity for intricate vascular procedures. The ergonomic handle profile ensures a secure grip and precise control, allowing surgeons to perform meticulous dissections with confidence throughout delicate vascular interventions. Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Watson-Cheyne Probe and 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 7 1/4″ Watson-Cheyne Probe and Dissector – Double-Ended 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 Arterial Plaque Removal Intimal Layer Separation Vascular Reconstruction Procedures Peripheral Vascular Surgery Arterial Repair Procedures Cardiovascular Procedures Microsurgical Vascular Dissection Educational and Training Applications Specifications Feature Details Product Name 7 1/4″ Watson-Cheyne Probe and Dissector – Double-Ended Instrument Type Vascular Probe and Dissector Function Intimal Layer Separation and Vascular Tissue Dissection Configuration Double-Ended Tip Design Probe Tip and Dissector Tip Overall Length 7 1/4 in (approximately 18.4 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 Versatility Frequently Asked Questions What is the 7 1/4″ Watson-Cheyne Probe and Dissector – Double-Ended used for?
