Description

The Cobb Spinal Elevator is designed for lifting and separating soft tissue from the spine during orthopedic and neurosurgical procedures. It is commonly used to move paraspinal muscles and other soft tissue away from the laminae, spinous processes, and surrounding bone when preparing the area for surgery.

The instrument has a broad, smooth spatulated blade that provides a wide surface for tissue elevation. The smooth blade can be used to work along the bone and create a clear working plane while keeping the movement controlled. It is available in 10 mm, 13 mm, and 19 mm blade widths, giving surgical teams a choice depending on the area being exposed and the amount of tissue being moved.

The knurled handle provides a firm grip while the blade is being positioned and used. The textured surface helps keep the instrument secure in the hand, which is particularly useful when working through a deeper surgical field.

The instrument has an overall length of 31 cm (12¼”), with a 17 cm (6¾”) handle. The longer design provides useful reach for posterior spinal exposure while still allowing the user to control the blade when working around the vertebral structures.

It is made from surgical-grade stainless steel and goes through quality control inspection before it is supplied. The instrument is checked for its overall finish and condition, while the blade and handle are inspected to make sure they are properly finished and secure. These checks help ensure that the instrument is in good working condition before use. The stainless-steel construction also makes it suitable for regular cleaning and maintenance as a reusable surgical instrument.

With its smooth spatulated blade, three width options, knurled handle, and 31 cm length, the Cobb Spinal Elevator provides a practical choice for controlled tissue elevation and spinal exposure. The different blade widths make it easier to select a size that suits the area being exposed and the procedure being performed.
