Controlled Access for Ingrown Nail Elevation

The Locke ingrown nail elevator is a 5-inch, straight instrument with a wide blade and hexagonal handle, designed for controlled elevation around an ingrown nail. Its compact length supports close, deliberate work, while the broad straight blade provides a defined working surface and the hexagonal handle offers a secure, oriented grasp during positioning. The instrument can support routine setups in General Surgery and may also fit Orthopedic workflows involving nail-related elevator tasks. Its focused form keeps handling straightforward when access, orientation, and steady instrument placement matter. Use it according to the applicable procedure and facility protocol.
