Rib elevator 17 angled 45° sharp 9.0mm wide blade, phenolic handle

Extended reach and controlled elevation for surgical access

The rib elevator is a 17-inch angled instrument designed for lifting and separating tissue or anatomical structures during surgical exposure. Its 45º angled profile and sharp 9.0 mm wide blade support access where a straight approach is less practical, while the phenolic handle provides a firm surface for controlled manual handling. Suitable for general surgery and orthopedic workflows, this elevator helps bring reach and blade orientation together in one focused instrument. Its familiar elevator format supports deliberate positioning during exposure tasks while allowing the operator to work from a more comfortable angle around the operative field.

Use Cases

• Support rib elevation and controlled separation during general surgery exposure.
• Assist orthopedic procedures requiring an extended-reach elevator for access around deeper or angled operative sites.
• Use the 45º angled profile to approach structures when a straight instrument position is less convenient.
• Apply the sharp 9 mm wide blade for focused engagement during elevation and exposure tasks.
• Use the long 17-inch shaft to maintain working reach while keeping the handle positioned away from the operative field.

Care & Handling

• Clean the instrument promptly after use according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the sharp blade, angled profile, and handle before and after each use for damage, deformation, or surface changes.
• Handle the blade carefully during cleaning, transport, and storage to reduce the risk of contact damage.
• Store the elevator in a way that protects the blade and prevents it from striking other instruments.
