Separator of the dura mater from the inner surface of the skull.
A simple instrument used in the detachment of the dura mater from the inner surface of the skull is presented. This separator is a hollow tube attached to a syringe. It bears a convex tip lightly pressing and detaching the dura. Saline solution given through the syringe comes out at the tip of the separator and easily, safely, and effectively detaches the dura.
