Sklar Agis-Dingman Transaxillary Dissector Set
A set of two 14-1/2 inch dissectors used to create the surgical pocket during transaxillary approach breast augmentation. It remains a routine addition to matching specialty instrument trays.
The Sklar Agis-Dingman Transaxillary Dissectors Set provides two matched dissecting instruments, each 14-1/2 inches long, designed for the transaxillary approach to breast augmentation surgery. In this technique the surgeon accesses the breast pocket through an incision in the axilla, working through a long, narrow tunnel to the implant site, which calls for instruments with enough reach and control to dissect tissue planes at that distance without direct line of sight.
Long dissectors like these help the surgeon separate tissue evenly to create a symmetric pocket for implant placement while minimising trauma along the tunnel path. Supplying the pair as a set rather than as single items reflects how the instruments are typically used together, one for each side of the procedure or as a left and right matched pair depending on technique.
Plastic surgery centres performing transaxillary augmentation routinely keep a set like this within their dedicated breast surgery instrument tray.
