A surgical instrument for dissecting tissue and inserting a surgical implant device thereat includes first and second blades which are pivotally joined together. Each of the first and second blades has an elongated length which includes a first section and a second section, the first section of each blade including a free end having a flattened tip for blunt dissection of tissue and a non-cutting, clamping portion situated adjacent to and encompassing the flattened tip for selectively grasping a surgical implant device. The second section of each blade includes a finger ring for grasping and manipulation by a surgeon. The blades are pivotally joined together at the junctures of the first and second sections to allow the first and second blades to pivotally move with respect to one another within a plane of pivotal movement. The non-cutting, clamping portions of each blade has a clamping face, and the clamping faces of the blades reside in parallel planes and are angled to the plane of pivotal movement of the blades.
