Grooved (Winged) Director Purpose. Guiding a surgical instrument or a probe to a site that is out of the surgeon’s view, to safely explore an area while protecting tissues from the probe. For example, the tip of the director is inserted
through a small stab incision in the skin or into the abdominal cavity, and the incision is subse- quently extended with scissors or a scalpel using the director to guard deeper tissues from being inadvertently cut.
Features. The director has a flared (wing-shaped) handle and a tapered shank that has a con- cave channel on one side into which sharp instruments are guided.
