Cloward-style osteophyte elevator 8 angled 90° blade round handle

Controlled Elevation for Focused Surgical Access

The Cloward-style osteophyte elevator is an 8-inch surgical elevator intended for lifting and mobilizing osteophyte material during procedures requiring focused bony access. Its angled 90º blade supports an approach aligned with the operative site, while the round handle provides a familiar grip for controlled instrument handling. The design is relevant to general surgery and neurosurgery workflows where careful elevation and access around anatomical structures are required. Its dedicated elevator form helps support deliberate manipulation rather than relying on a general-purpose instrument, contributing to an organized technique and clear handling during demanding surgical tasks.

Use Cases

• Elevating osteophyte material during procedures that require focused bony access.
• Using the 90º angled blade to approach an operative site from a controlled orientation.
• Supporting careful elevation and mobilization tasks in general surgery.
• Supporting instrument handling during neurosurgical procedures involving osteophyte-related access.
• Applying the round handle for deliberate manipulation during focused surgical work.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the elevator according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the angled blade and round handle before and after use for visible damage, deformation, or residue.
• Handle the blade carefully during cleaning, transport, and storage to help protect its working edge and shape.
• Store the instrument in a manner that prevents contact damage and supports ready inspection before use.
