Nelaton Grooved Director 16 cm (6 ¼”) Curved

The Nelaton Grooved Director provides surgeons with a reliable guide for safe tissue dissection and fistula exploration. Because this model features a curved (CVD) profile, it allows the clinician to navigate non-linear anatomical tracts that straight directors cannot reach. Consequently, the instrument protects underlying nerves and blood vessels while guiding a scalpel or probe along a precise path.

Furthermore, the 16 cm length offers excellent maneuverability for both superficial and mid-depth surgical sites. Therefore, it remains an essential tool for maintaining high operative safety during delicate procedures.

Key Features

• Precision Guiding Channel: The central longitudinal groove acts as a track for other surgical instruments. As a result, it prevents the scalpel from deviating, which ensures a clean and accurate incision.
• Anatomically Curved Shaft: The subtle curve helps the clinician follow the natural trajectory of ducts and wound tracts. For this reason, surgeons can explore recessed areas with much greater ease.
• Atraumatic Rounded Tip: A smooth, blunt distal end facilitates safe passage through tissue planes. In addition, this design minimizes the risk of accidental perforation during intraoperative examinations.
• Ergonomic Winged Base: The butterfly-shaped handle provides a secure and stable grip for the surgeon’s fingers. Thus, the instrument remains firmly in place even during complex tissue elevation.
• Premium Stainless Steel Build: We manufacture the Nelaton director from high-quality surgical steel for maximum durability. Moreover, the instrument is fully autoclavable and resists the corrosive effects of repeated sterilization.
