Sklar Landolt Reulen Dissector, Curved 2mm Diameter
A curved 10-1/4 inch dissector with a 2mm diameter tip, used for fine, precise tissue dissection during pituitary and skull base neurosurgical procedures.
The Sklar Landolt Reulen Dissector is a neurosurgical instrument measuring 10-1/4 inches with a curved shaft and a fine 2mm diameter tip, designed for careful separation of tissue planes within the narrow surgical corridors used in pituitary and skull base surgery. The curved shape lets the surgeon follow the natural contour of the surgical approach, while the small tip diameter allows precise, controlled dissection in a space where a larger instrument would risk disturbing surrounding delicate structures.
This dissector belongs to the Reulen set of instruments developed for use alongside the Landolt hypophysectomy system, sharing a consistent scale with the accompanying curettes, hooks and raspatories so the surgical team can move between different actions on tissue without changing overall reach. Neurosurgeons performing transsphenoidal pituitary surgery and related skull base approaches use this dissector for fine tissue separation.
As a reusable stainless steel instrument, it should be cleaned and sterilized between cases following standard neurosurgical reprocessing protocols, with the tip checked before use for sharpness and alignment.
