Clinical Application
Designed for spinal exposure and soft-tissue management, this Cobb-type elevator is used to perform blunt subperiosteal dissection, elevate the periosteum, mobilize paraspinal musculature and assist in exposing laminae, facets and transverse processes. The 13 mm blade width and 24 cm length provide a balance between working surface and reach, making it suitable for lumbar, thoracic and posterior cervical approaches where controlled elevation and protection of underlying neural elements are required.
Design & Configuration
The spatulated, rounded tip allows atraumatic separation of periosteum and soft tissues from bone while minimizing the risk of penetrating or sharp-edge injury. The rigid shaft transmits tactile feedback for controlled levering and precise dissection in confined spinal corridors. The overall 24 cm length affords access to deeper anatomic planes without excessive hand intrusion into the wound.
