Rib elevator 17 angled 90° sharp 9.0mm wide blade, phenolic handle

Controlled Reach for Rib Elevation in Open Surgical Workflows

This 17-inch rib elevator is designed to assist with controlled rib elevation and retraction during open procedures, giving the user extended reach while working around the operative field. Its 90-degree angled profile helps position the instrument for access from a practical working direction, while the sharp 9.0 mm-wide blade supports secure engagement at the rib. A phenolic handle provides a defined gripping surface for deliberate instrument handling. Suitable for general surgery and orthopedic applications, this elevator supports organized exposure and instrument control where reach, blade placement, and consistent handling are important.
