Products
Open-surgery blunt dissector (short-shaft, atraumatic tip)
Handheld powered blunt dissector designed for open surgical procedures with a short shaft (~10 cm) and atraumatic oscillating tip; simple controls (on/off and speed) for blunt tissue plane development and subcutaneous tunneling.
Laparoscopic multifunctional blunt dissector (5 mm shaft)
Laparoscopic shaft instrument (~5 mm diameter, lengths 27–35 cm) combining tissue-selective blunt dissection with optional extendable monopolar cutting/coagulation and an optional suction/irrigation/smoke module to provide up to six functions in a single shaft.
Endoscopic-compatible blunt dissector (working-channel instrument)
Flexible and rigid instruments sized to fit endoscope working channels (~3.2 mm diameter flexible instrument) enabling tissue-selective submucosal dissection and tunneling in gastrointestinal endoscopy without reliance on electrosurgical cutting.
Device platform variants and prototypes
Range of prototype variants including micro-diameter shafts (~3 mm), curved and articulating shafts, interchangeable tips, integrated forceps, rechargeable battery options, and alternate tip materials (stainless steel, nylon, polymers).
