Clinical Application
This double-ended McDonald elevator is designed to facilitate controlled elevation of mucoperiosteal and soft-tissue layers from underlying bone during ENT, nasal, oral and maxillofacial procedures. Common uses include subperiosteal dissection in septoplasty and rhinoplasty, elevation of mucosa and periosteum in sinonasal procedures, and general soft-tissue elevation where a slim, precise working tip is required. The 19 cm shaft provides reach into deeper cavities while maintaining tactile feedback for delicate tissue handling.
Design & Configuration
The double-ended configuration provides two working profiles on a single instrument, allowing the operator to switch ends quickly without changing instruments. Spatula-style working surfaces distribute pressure across the tissue to reduce focal trauma while the elongated shaft improves access and visualization in confined surgical fields. The balanced geometry supports controlled levering and gentle undermining of periosteum and mucosa, minimizing the need for repeated instrument exchanges.
