Ballenger Periosteal Elevator Straight 5.0 mm Tip 19.4 cm (7.6)

Balanced Double-Ended Access for Septal and Tissue Elevation

The Hajek-Ballenger septum elevator is a surgical elevator designed for controlled tissue elevation and separation, with a 7 5/8-inch reach suited to work through the operative field. Its double-ended configuration combines one sharp and one blunt 5.0 mm wide blade, allowing the user to select the working profile appropriate to the task without changing instruments. Heavy shafts and a square handle support deliberate handling, while the straight design provides a direct instrument profile. This configuration is relevant across ENT, General Surgery, and Neurosurgery workflows where measured tissue handling and dependable instrument access are required.

Use Cases

• Elevate and separate septal tissue in ENT procedures using the sharp or blunt working end as appropriate.
• Support controlled tissue-plane development during general surgical dissection and elevation tasks.
• Provide a long, straight elevator profile for access within operative fields in neurosurgical workflows.
• Switch between the sharp and blunt ends to match changing tissue-handling requirements without reaching for a separate elevator.
• Use the square handle and heavy shaft configuration for deliberate positioning and instrument control during elevation.

Care & Handling

• Clean the elevator promptly after use according to facility protocols and the applicable manufacturer instructions for surgical instruments.
• Inspect both blades, the straight shafts, and the square handle for residue, damage, deformation, or edge irregularities before reuse.
• Handle the sharp blade carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to reduce the risk of accidental contact or instrument damage.
• Store the instrument in a manner that protects both blade ends and prevents contact with other instruments.
