Its 13-1/2″ (343mm) length provides ample reach for working around the breast, chest wall, and submammary plane while allowing the surgeon to maintain a comfortable, controlled hand position. The robust shaft and carefully shaped blade are designed to support smooth, efficient tissue separation, helping to form a defined implant pocket with minimal trauma to surrounding structures. Manufactured by Adas Instruments from high-quality stainless steel, this breast dissector is built for durability, repeated sterilization, and dependable performance in demanding operating room environments.Why Surgeons Choose Our Silverstein Breast DissectorSurgeons choose the Silverstein Breast Dissector for its balance of strength, precision,n and ergonomic handling in breast surgery.
