Wieslander Breast Dissector – Wide Blade 18-1/8″ (460mm)

Wieslander Breast Dissector Wide Blade – 18-1/8″ (460mm) Length

The Wieslander Breast Dissector Wide Blade is a specialized instrument used to create and refine breast pockets, particularly via the transaxillary approach. With a total length of 18-1/8″ (460mm), it allows surgeons to reach from the axillary incision to the desired pocket location while maintaining excellent control and visibility. The 1″ (25mm) wide blade offers broad contact with tissue surfaces, helping to distribute force evenly and support smooth, efficient dissection. Manufactured by Adas Instruments from high-quality stainless steel, this dissector is designed for durability, consistent performance and compatibility with standard sterilization methods.

Wide Blade Design for Efficient Pocket Creation

The defining feature of this Wieslander breast dissector is its wide 1″ (25mm) blade, which is optimized for controlled tissue separation and pocket formation. The wide blade helps maintain a uniform dissection plane and reduces the risk of creating irregularities in the pocket wall. Its length and profile allow the surgeon to sweep along the chest wall in a steady motion, minimizing localized pressure points and potential trauma to surrounding structures. This design makes the instrument particularly suitable for implant pocket dissection and reshaping in cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery.

Surgical Applications of Wide blade Breast Dissector

• Transaxillary breast augmentation requiring long-reach, wide-blade dissectors for pocket creation.
• Breast reduction and reshaping procedures where broad, controlled tissue dissection is needed.
• Reconstructive breast surgery involving formation and adjustment of implant or flap pockets.
• Oncoplastic breast procedures where low-trauma, wide-blade dissection supports contouring and reconstruction.
• General breast surgery cases where an 18-1/8″ (460mm) dissector offers optimal reach from the axilla or other limited incisions.
