Cobb Type Spinal Elevator 13mm, 28cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled soft-tissue and subperiosteal elevation during spinal and general orthopedic procedures. The broad spatulate tip is used to lift periosteum, detach muscle and ligamentous tissue from bone, define the subperiosteal plane, and provide blunt dissection when exposing laminae, facets, and posterior spinal elements. Its length and blade profile facilitate access to deep posterior corridors while maintaining tactile feedback for delicate tissue handling.

Design & Configuration

The Cobb-style spatulate geometry distributes contact force across a broader surface compared with pointed elevators, reducing focal pressure on underlying bone while enabling efficient detachment of periosteum and soft tissue. A 13 mm blade width gives a balance between surface area for elevation and the ability to work in narrow operative windows. The 28 cm shaft provides reach for deeper exposures without sacrificing control, allowing the surgeon to maintain a comfortable hand position outside the wound.
