Cottle-Pickrell elevator 9 double-ended, slightly curved 4.0mm and 4.9mm blades round handle

Versatile Double-Ended Elevation for General Surgery

The Cottle-Pickrell elevator is a 9-inch, double-ended surgical instrument intended for controlled tissue elevation and separation in general surgery. Its slightly curved 4.0 mm and 4.9 mm blades provide two working options within one instrument, helping clinicians select the end that best suits the task and access requirements. The round handle supports familiar manual handling during procedural work, while the extended length can assist with reach in the operative field. Combining two blade sizes in a single elevator supports an organized instrument setup and practical workflow flexibility without adding another separate instrument.

Use Cases

• Elevating and separating tissue during general surgical procedures.
• Selecting between the 4.0 mm and 4.9 mm ends for task-appropriate instrument contact.
• Using the slightly curved blade profile when working around contoured anatomical areas.
• Supporting manual dissection and elevation tasks where a 9-inch instrument provides useful reach.
• Maintaining workflow flexibility with two elevator ends available on one instrument.
