style #2
18.5 cm, 7 ”
double ended
The 11-917-18 belongs to the Penfield family of double ended dissectors, this time in a style #2 configuration measuring 18.5 cm, close to 7 inches. Like other instruments in the series, it is built around the idea that a surgeon should be able to move between two distinct tip profiles without setting the instrument down.
Penfield dissectors were developed for neurosurgical work but have found a place across general and reconstructive procedures wherever blunt separation of soft tissue from bone or nerve structures is needed. The slightly longer length of this style compared to style #1 gives added reach in deeper surgical fields while keeping the same double ended versatility.
As part of our bone surgery instruments, the 11-917-18 is suited to trays where a surgeon needs consistent, gentle handling of tissue planes during exposure or closure.
Double ended construction for two distinct dissection profiles
18.5 cm length for extended reach in deeper fields
Recognized Penfield pattern used across neurosurgical and general surgery
Slim design supports careful, controlled movement near sensitive structures
Instrument sets built around the Penfield series benefit from having multiple lengths on hand, since procedures vary in depth and exposure. This style rounds out a set nicely for surgeons who already rely on the shorter pattern.
