Description

The Kolbel Glenoid Elevator – 15 mm is a curved orthopedic instrument used during shoulder procedures where access to the glenoid area is required. Its long, narrow shape makes it suitable for working around the shoulder joint without taking up too much space in the operative field. The instrument can be positioned along the joint area while tissue is moved aside to improve access.

The working end has double prongs rather than a single flat blade. The prongs are blunt and set close together, giving the tip a defined shape for placing the elevator against the tissue or bone. The curved profile continues from the tip along the shaft, giving the instrument a gradual bend rather than a sharp angle.

The elevator measures 30 cm (12″) overall. This extended length gives the surgeon more reach when working within the shoulder joint. It also keeps the hand and handle farther from the immediate operative area, which can be useful during procedures where access is deeper.

The 15 mm wide working profile provides more coverage than a very narrow elevator while still keeping the instrument relatively slim. The long curved shaft and double-prong tip are the main features of this model. There is no adjustment mechanism or moving part, so the instrument is positioned and used directly according to the exposure required.

It can be handled from the long proximal section while the curved working end is placed into the surgical field. Its shape is particularly suited to working around the contours of the shoulder rather than approaching the area with a straight instrument.

Made from surgical-grade stainless steel, the elevator is intended for repeated surgical use and routine sterilization. Proper cleaning and maintenance help preserve the instrument’s surface and its resistance to corrosion during regular use.

With its 30 cm (12″) length, 15 mm width, curved profile, and double-prong working end, the Kolbel Glenoid Elevator – 15 mm is a straightforward instrument for shoulder procedures requiring extended reach and controlled access around the glenoid region.
