A surgical dissector comprising an elongate shaft having a proximal end and a distal end. A blunt dissection tip is positioned on the distal end of the elongate shaft. A light source emits a diffuse visible energy, such as white light, from the blunt tip. The shaft may take a variety of shapes, including being rigid, flexible, malleable, straight, bent, curved, articulated, and/or segmented. In addition, the shaft may include one or more functional components. The dissector can be used to locate the dissector tip by observing the visible energy passing through tissue. In addition, the visible energy passing through tissue may be used to differentiate tissue.
L'invention concerne un instrument chirurgical de dissection comportant une tige allongée dotée d'une extrémité proximale et d'une extrémité distale. Une pointe de dissection émoussée se trouve à l'extrémité distale de la tige allongée. Une source lumineuse émet une énergie visible diffuse telle qu'une lumière blanche par la pointe émoussée. La tige peut avoir de multiples formes et être rigide, souple, malléable, droite, incurvée, recourbée, articulée et/ou segmentée. De plus, la tige peut être pourvue d'un ou de plusieurs éléments fonctionnels. Cet instrument de dissection peut servir à placer la pointe de dissection au moyen de l'énergie visible traversant les tissus, laquelle énergie visible traversant les tissus permet en outre de différencier les tissus.
