Janetta Duckbill Elevator for General Surgery tissue dissection and retraction procedures

Controlled Elevation for Dissection and Retraction Workflows

The Janetta Duckbill Elevator is an elevator instrument designed for tissue dissection and retraction procedures in General Surgery. Its duckbill configuration supports controlled elevation and tissue handling when a focused working profile is useful during operative dissection. The instrument can also support comparable elevator tasks in approved Neurosurgery applications, where careful access and retraction are part of the procedural workflow. By combining a recognizable elevator format with a purpose-oriented working end, it helps surgical teams perform tissue manipulation tasks with a practical, deliberate approach while maintaining attention to the operative field and surrounding structures.

Use Cases

• Support tissue dissection and controlled elevation during General Surgery procedures.
• Assist with tissue retraction when an elevator is selected for the operative task.
• Provide a duckbill elevator option for neurosurgical dissection and retraction workflows.
• Use as part of a focused instrument sequence where tissue handling and operative access are required.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the instrument according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the duckbill working end before and after use for visible residue, damage, or changes that could affect handling.
• Handle the elevator carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help protect its working profile.
• Store in a manner that keeps the instrument clean, protected, and accessible for its intended surgical use.
