Orthopedic Periosteal Elevator 3.0 mm Tip 21.6 cm (8.5)

Versatile Double-Ended Elevation with Controlled Instrument Handling

The Cottle septum elevator is a double-ended surgical elevator designed for controlled tissue elevation and septal work, with two distinct working profiles for adapting technique to the operative task. Its 8 1/2-inch length provides useful reach, while the graduated 4.0 mm x 4.0 mm shaft and 4.0 mm round end support measured instrument positioning. A 3.0 mm-wide flat spatula blade offers a separate, narrow option for elevation and retraction tasks. The flat titanium handle supports a stable hand position during routine handling. Suitable for workflows in ENT, General Surgery, and Neurosurgery, it brings versatile access and fine instrument selection to the sterile field.

Use Cases

• ENT workflows requiring septal elevation with a choice of round and spatula working ends.
• General Surgery tasks involving controlled tissue elevation or retraction with a delicate-weight instrument.
• Neurosurgery workflows requiring a narrow, manually controlled elevator profile for access around operative structures.
• Use the 4.0 mm round end when a rounded working surface suits the task, or the 3.0 mm-wide spatula blade when a flat, narrow profile is preferred.
• Select the graduated shaft to support consistent visual positioning during instrument advancement and withdrawal.

Care & Handling
