Yasargil micro-dissector
A long, slender micro-dissector with a bayonet-shaped shaft and a blunt or semi-sharp tip depending on the model, designed by neurosurgeon Gazi Yasargil as part of his microsurgical instrument line. Sold in various lengths and tip angulations (straight, curved, angled downward).
How it is used
Blunt microsurgical dissection of arachnoid planes, separating tumor tissue from healthy brain parenchyma and cranial nerves, and manipulating small vascular structures under the microscope; the bayonet shape keeps the surgeon's hand and wrist out of the microscope's optical axis.
Clinical tip
Sold with multiple tip shapes (blunt, semi-sharp, hook-like) under the same "Yasargil" name by several manufacturers; not to be confused with the already-catalogued Yasargil bipolar forceps, which delivers electrical current rather than just dissecting.
