MacCollum-Dingman Submamm Dissector Wide Blade 11-3/4″ for Breast Surgery
The MacCollum-Dingman Submamm Dissector Wide Blade is a specialized plastic and reconstructive surgery instrument used to dissect and mobilize tissue in the submammary space during breast augmentation and related procedures. With an overall length of 11-3/4″ (298mm) and a 20mm wide blade, it provides the reach and broad contact needed to develop a uniform submammary pocket while maintaining excellent control. Manufactured by Adas Instruments from high-quality stainless steel, this submammary dissector features a round shaft with cm markings to help surgeons track depth and instrument position. Fast worldwide delivery is available, including shipping to the USA via DHL, FedEx, and UPS, making it a practical choice for breast surgery centers and hospitals.
Why Surgeons Choose Our MacCollum-Dingman Submamm Dissector Wide Blade
Surgeons choose the MacCollum-Dingman Submamm Dissector Wide Blade for its combination of controlled dissection, ergonomic handlin,g and clear depth orientation in the submammary plane. The wide blade distributes pressure over a larger surface, helping to reduce localized trauma while efficiently separating tissue layers. A balanced shaft with optional modifications in shaft size and tip dimensions allows customization for different patient anatomies and surgical preferences. Cm marks on the shaft support consistent, repeatable pocket development by giving immediate visual feedback on instrument insertion depth.
Surgical Applications
- Submammary pocket creation in breast augmentation procedures.
- Breast dissection and tissue mobilization in reconstructive breast surgery.
- Refinement and shaping of the submammary space during cosmetic breast procedures.
- Dissection via inframammary or related approaches where controlled submammary access is required.
- General plastic surgery applications involving broad, controlled dissection in the lower breast region.
