5 1/2″ Dilator - 0.3mm dia 13.5cm 9mm

Fine-Diameter Dilator for Controlled Access Across Surgical Workflows

The 5 1/2″ Dilator is a fine, 0.3mm-diameter instrument designed for controlled dilation and probing where precise access and tactile handling matter. Its 13.5cm length provides practical reach for general surgery, neurosurgery, and orthopedic workflows while maintaining a compact profile for close procedural work. The 9mm listed dimension further identifies the instrument configuration without adding unnecessary bulk to the working setup. Suitable for task-focused dilation and passage assessment, this dilator supports organized instrument handling and consistent technique across specialties. Its straightforward design also makes it easy to inspect, clean, and prepare according to facility procedures.

Use Cases

• General surgery: support controlled dilation or probing during procedures requiring a fine instrument profile.
• Neurosurgery: provide a slender option for careful access assessment where measured handling is important.
• Orthopedic procedures: assist with probing or controlled dilation in focused surgical workflows.
• Use the 13.5cm length to reach the working area while keeping the instrument manageable during close manipulation.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess according to applicable facility protocols and the governing instructions for use.
• Inspect the fine 0.3mm-diameter profile before and after use for bending, surface damage, or other changes that could affect handling.
• Handle carefully during cleaning, transfer, and setup to protect the slender instrument profile.
• Store in a manner that prevents contact damage, bending, or loss among other instruments.

General use; follow facility protocols.
