Orthopedic Periosteal Elevator 25.0 cm (10")

Controlled Elevation and Reliable Two-Sided Access

The Woodson spatula/elevator is a 10-inch, double-ended instrument designed for controlled elevation, spreading, and manipulation of tissue or material during operative work. Its extended length supports access beyond the immediate hand position, while the hexagonal handle provides a defined grip that can assist with instrument orientation and handling. The two-ended configuration helps clinicians select the working end suited to the task without changing instruments as often. In General Surgery and Neurosurgery, it can support careful tissue handling, exposure, and elevation within established procedural techniques and facility workflows.

Use Cases

• Support controlled tissue elevation and gentle spreading during General Surgery procedures.
• Assist with exposure and tissue manipulation where a longer instrument reach is useful.
• Provide a suitable spatula/elevator option for Neurosurgery workflows requiring careful elevation and handling.
• Select between the two working ends to match the access or elevation task at hand.
• Use the hexagonal handle to help maintain instrument orientation during precise handling.
