D&K Nucleus Divider: Angled Shaft for Precision Spinal Surgery

The D&K nucleus divider is a specialized instrument designed for precise spinal procedures, particularly in discectomies and laminectomies. Featuring a 45-degree angled shaft with a 12.0mm bend-to-tip distance, this tool offers optimal access to the intervertebral disc space. The straight, blunt tip measures 1.0mm, ensuring safe separation of nuclear material without damaging surrounding neural structures. With an overall length of 20.0 cm (8.0 inches), it provides surgeons with excellent control and visibility during delicate operations. This high-quality instrument is essential for hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and clinics performing minimally invasive spine surgeries.

• Separating and removing herniated nucleus pulposus material during lumbar discectomy procedures.
• Accessing tight intervertebral spaces where straight instruments cannot reach effectively.
• Performing precise tissue manipulation in minimally invasive spine surgeries.
• Dividing disc fragments safely without causing trauma to adjacent nerve roots or dura mater.

Specifications

• Inspect the blunt tip for any signs of bending or damage before each use to ensure patient safety.
• Clean and sterilize according to hospital protocols using approved enzymatic cleaners and autoclave methods.
• Store in a protective case to prevent contact with other instruments that could mar the surface finish.
