Clinical Application
Precision elevator for controlled elevation and blunt dissection in oral, maxillofacial, ENT, and general surgical procedures. The instrument is used to reflect periosteum and soft tissue, to separate tissue planes, and to assist in tooth luxation or removal of small bony fragments where careful leverage and tactile feedback are required. Its length and configuration make it suitable for access to deeper surgical sites while maintaining surgeon control.
Design & Configuration
The double-ended design provides two complementary working ends without changing instruments, allowing rapid transition between finer and broader elevation tasks. The 21 cm overall length increases reach into posterior or deeper operative fields and provides mechanical advantage for controlled levering. A balanced shaft and handle geometry improve tactile feedback and reduce hand fatigue during prolonged elevation or dissection maneuvers.
