Cobb Type Spinal Elevator 10mm, 28cm

Clinical Application

This Cobb-type spinal elevator is intended for use in spinal and orthopedic procedures to elevate periosteum, dissect soft tissue from bone surfaces, and perform controlled scraping or removal of cortical bone and disc material. Common uses include exposure and tissue plane development during laminectomy, discectomy, fusion approaches, and other posterior or anterior spinal procedures where precise elevation and leverage are required.

Design & Configuration

The Cobb pattern features a broad, flat, spoon-like blade with a slight curve and a beveled edge that facilitates controlled undermining and scraping of tissue. A 10 mm blade width provides a balance between surface contact for atraumatic elevation and the precision needed for working in confined spinal corridors. The 28 cm overall length offers additional reach for deeper exposures without compromising tactile feedback or control, allowing the surgeon to apply lever action while maintaining visibility of the field.
