Freer Dissector

Description

The Freer Dissector is a surgical device used in a number of operations, especially those that require precise manipulation of soft tissue. Here are some relevant details about it:

Function:

• Freer dissectors are intended to separate layers of tissue without cutting. This permits surgeons to see the underlying anatomy while minimizing blood vessel and nerve injury.

Types:

• There are many Freer dissector versions, each designed for a unique use. Some typical categories are:
  • Freer elevator: This dissector features two rounded, pointed extremities of identical size that are used to elevate tissues such as the periosteum.
  • Freer spatula: This double-ended device has a hoe-shaped blade for scooping and lifting soft tissue flaps.
  • Freer aspirating dissector: This variety has a suction mechanism that allows for simultaneous dissection and tissue removal; it is often used in ear, nose, and throat treatments.

Material:

• Freer dissectors are normally made of high-quality stainless steel for durability, accuracy, and compatibility with sterilizing treatments.

Applications:

• Freer dissectors are used in several surgical disciplines, including:
  • Ear, nose, and throat surgery
  • Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
  • Ophthalmic surgery, or eye surgery
  • Neurological surgery.
