    The Iconoclast tool offers easy separation of skin layers, minimizing damage to nerves and blood vessels. Its blunt dissection technique reduces the need for sharp surgical instruments.

    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Instrumentation
    • Anatomy
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Accurate tissue separation is crucial in surgery.
    • Minimizing iatrogenic damage to delicate structures like nerves and blood vessels is a key surgical goal.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce the Iconoclast, a novel surgical tool.
    • To highlight its design for efficient and safe tissue dissection.

    Main Methods:

    • The Iconoclast employs a blunt dissection mechanism.
    • Designed for separating the dermis from underlying fascia or periosteum.

    Main Results:

    • The tool facilitates easy separation of tissue planes.
    • Blunt dissection reduces the requirement for sharp instruments.
