Is there a doctor in the house?

I am unable to prove that a myotome is indeed a surgical instrument for dissecting muscles

[Rollo]

Definition ofr "myotome" from Chambers Dictionary.

myotome n muscles which are controlled by the nerves from one segment of the spinal cord; a surgical instrument for dissecting muscle.

[JandyAF]

Derivation:
myo- from Greek mus = muscle
-tome from Greek tomos = a cutting

Thank you for your answers - neither of my Chambers or the Oxford referred to an instrument. Must update them!!

Why do we get so worried when we are beaten by one clue? Scrabbler
