Orthopedic Periosteal Elevator 38.1 cm (15.0)

Purposeful Reach and Controlled Elevation Across Surgical Workflows

The Gorilla Elevator is an elevator instrument designed to assist with controlled elevation and separation of tissue or anatomical structures during surgical procedures. Its 15-inch overall length supports reach within the operative field, while the 9-inch handle provides a substantial gripping area for deliberate manipulation. The named 3/8-inch dimension further identifies the instrument configuration without assigning an unverified function to that measurement. Suitable for general surgery and neurosurgery workflows, this elevator can support access and exposure tasks where a longer instrument profile is useful. Its straightforward design helps integrate elevation and retraction steps into established procedural technique and facility handling practices.

Use Cases

• Support controlled elevation during general surgery procedures where an elevator is appropriate.
• Assist with tissue or structure separation and exposure as part of a surgeon-directed operative technique.
• Provide extended reach for access within the operative field through its 15-inch overall length.
• Support neurosurgery workflows requiring an elevator for carefully directed elevation or exposure.
• Use the 9-inch handle to maintain a deliberate grip while positioning the instrument during procedural tasks.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the elevator according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the instrument before and after use for visible soil, damage, deformation, or changes that could affect handling.
• Handle the elevator carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help protect its working surfaces and handle.
• Store the instrument in a manner that prevents unnecessary contact or impact with other instruments.
