Orthopedic Periosteal Elevator Straight 15.9 cm (6.3)

Controlled Access and Confident Handling in ENT and General Surgery

The Shea backhanded elevator is a surgical elevator designed for lifting and separating tissue during ENT and General Surgery procedures. Its 6 1/4-inch straight shaft provides useful reach, while the 45º angle and long, tapered, rounded blade support access in confined operative areas. A rounded blade profile helps present a smooth working edge for controlled handling, and the round handle offers a familiar grip for instrument manipulation. The backhanded configuration supports an alternative approach when working orientation, access, or visualization makes a conventional elevator position less practical. Together, these features provide a versatile option for routine elevation tasks across approved specialties.

Use Cases

• Support tissue elevation and separation during General Surgery procedures requiring a backhanded instrument approach.
• Assist with controlled access and tissue handling in ENT procedures where the angled blade can help reach the operative area.
• Use the straight shaft to maintain a direct instrument profile while working at the intended depth.
• Apply the long, tapered, rounded blade for focused elevation tasks where a smooth, narrow working profile is useful.
• Use the round handle to support consistent manual positioning during repeated instrument manipulation.
