Dukal 10534 - Kittner Dissectors 9/16" x 1/4", 5/PK, 100 PK/CS
The Dukal 10534 Kittner Dissectors are high quality surgical sponges designed for precision tissue dissection and fluid absorption in operative settings. Measuring 9/16 inch by 1/4 inch, these small sponges are tightly wound and ideal for use with a clamp or forceps. Packaged 5 per pack and 100 packs per case, they provide convenient supply management for high volume surgical environments. Their consistent size, absorbency, and performance support safe and efficient surgical procedures.
Key Benefits
The compact design allows surgeons to perform precise dissections while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissue. Their soft, absorbent material assists with maintaining a clear surgical field by absorbing fluids efficiently. Individually sterile packed units promote infection control, while bulk case packaging supports cost efficiency and supply consistency. The uniform construction ensures reliable performance in every procedure.
Compatibility and Applications
Dukal Kittner Dissectors are compatible with standard surgical clamps such as Kelly or Crile clamps for secure handling. They are widely used in operating rooms, surgical centers, and specialty clinics during delicate tissue dissection, blunt dissection, and fluid management procedures. Common applications include general surgery, cardiovascular procedures, and specialized surgical disciplines requiring precise tissue separation.
Usage Guidelines
Always inspect sterile packaging before use and discard if opened or damaged. Attach the dissector securely to a clamp or forceps before application. Use aseptic technique throughout the procedure to maintain sterility. After use, dispose of according to facility waste handling and surgical sponge counting protocols. Do not reuse or resterilize.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The Dukal 10534 Kittner Dissectors are manufactured under strict quality controls to comply with international medical device standards. Supplied sterile and single use, they meet safety and infection control requirements for surgical accessories. FDA registration and CE marking (where applicable) support regulatory compliance and product credibility in global healthcare markets.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared to standard cotton sponges, Dukal Kittner Dissectors provide superior consistency in size and absorbency, reducing variability in surgical procedures. Their small, uniform shape is engineered specifically for dissection rather than general absorption, making them more precise than traditional gauze sponges. Bulk packaging offers better supply chain efficiency compared to competitor products sold in smaller quantities.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Surgeons, surgical nurses, and operating room technicians are the primary users of these dissectors. They are most effective in surgical environments where blunt dissection and precise fluid absorption are critical. Common scenarios include cardiovascular surgery, abdominal procedures, and other surgeries requiring delicate tissue handling.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Verify package integrity prior to use. Use only with appropriate clamps to prevent slippage or misplacement. Maintain strict sponge counts before, during, and after procedures to ensure patient safety. Dispose of used sponges immediately after surgery according to facility and regulatory protocols.
Regulatory and Safety Information
For single use only. Do not use if sterile packaging is compromised. Ensure proper handling with surgical clamps to avoid accidental retention. Follow local regulatory guidelines, facility protocols, and standard surgical sponge counting practices to maintain patient safety.
