Laparoscopic blunt dissector

Definition

A sterile, rigid, manual instrument designed to facilitate blunt dissection between tissue planes during laparoscopic procedures, and may additionally be used during open surgical interventions of the abdomen. It is typically made of high-grade stainless steel and plastic materials, and usually consists of a long, thin shaft with a handle and activation lever proximally, and distally a steerable, flexible blunt tip used to mechanically disrupt tissues. Using the lever, the operator can articulate and lock the tip at an angle. It may also be used to snare and pull a pre-tied suture or interface with other similarly shaped articles (e.g., gastric band tubing). This is a single-use device.
