MacDonald dissector 7 1/4 double-ended curved and straight blunt blades square handle

Versatile Blunt Dissection with Two Working Ends

The MacDonald dissector is a general surgery instrument designed for blunt dissection and tissue separation during operative handling. Its 7 1/4" length provides a practical reach for routine surgical work, while the double-ended design combines curved and straight blunt blades in one instrument. This configuration supports selection of the blade shape that best suits the immediate approach, helping reduce instrument changes during a procedure. The square handle provides a defined gripping surface for controlled positioning and maneuvering, making the dissector a useful addition to general surgery instrument sets where adaptable blunt dissection is required.

Use Cases

• Perform blunt dissection using the curved blade where the operative approach benefits from a contoured working end.
• Use the straight blunt blade for direct tissue separation and manipulation in accessible areas.
• Select between the two working ends as dissection direction and access requirements change during a procedure.
• Incorporate the 7 1/4" dissector into general surgery instrument sets for routine blunt dissection tasks.
• Use the square handle to maintain a consistent grasp while positioning the selected blade.

Care & Handling
