Dermatology & Holloware 7¼″ Yasargil Micro Knife – Bayonet Handle, Down, Arachnoid

The Dermatology & Holloware 7¼″ Yasargil Micro Knife – Bayonet Handle, Down, Arachnoid is a precision microsurgical instrument designed for delicate dissection and manipulation of arachnoid tissue during specialized neurosurgical procedures. Its bayonet-style configuration is intended to provide controlled handling while helping keep the surgeon’s hand and instrument shaft away from the direct line of sight.

With an overall length of approximately 7¼ inches, the instrument provides useful reach for microsurgical applications while maintaining fine control. The elongated configuration can be beneficial when working within confined operative fields where precise movements are essential.

The bayonet handle is a defining feature of this instrument. Its offset design allows the working tip to remain aligned with the operative target while the surgeon’s hand is positioned above the surgical field. This configuration can help reduce obstruction of the microscope’s viewing path during microsurgical procedures.

The down-facing blade provides a specific working orientation intended for controlled dissection. The blade configuration should be selected according to the surgeon’s preferred technique and the specific requirements of the procedure.

This instrument is specifically described for arachnoid applications, where fine dissection and tissue separation may be required. The delicate working end is designed to provide precision rather than general-purpose cutting capability.

Yasargil-style microsurgical instruments are commonly associated with neurosurgery and microsurgical procedures, particularly operations performed under magnification. They may be included in specialized neurosurgical instrument sets for intracranial and skull-base procedures.

The instrument is typically manufactured from high-quality surgical stainless steel, providing durability, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with appropriate sterilization procedures. The fine blade should be handled carefully and inspected before use for sharpness, alignment, damage, or deformation.

As with all microsurgical instruments, precise handling and proper maintenance are essential. Reusable instruments should be cleaned, inspected, sterilized, and maintained according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions. Only qualified neurosurgical professionals should use the instrument according to appropriate clinical protocols.

Exact blade dimensions, tip geometry, handle configuration, and material specifications may vary between manufacturers. Customers should confirm the exact configuration before ordering.
