Hester release elevator 9 1/4" angled end gold square handle

Controlled Access and Confident Handling for Surgical Elevation

The Hester release elevator is a surgical elevator intended for controlled elevation and separation during operative handling. Its 9 1/4-inch length provides useful reach within the operative field, while the angled end supports access from a directed approach when working around adjacent structures. The square handle is designed to provide a stable grasp and deliberate instrument control, with the gold finish distinguishing the handle visually during setup and use. Suitable for general surgery and plastic surgery workflows, this elevator supports organized instrument handling where access, orientation, and measured manipulation are important to the task.

Use Cases

• Use for controlled elevation and separation tasks in general surgical procedures.
• Apply the angled end when a directed approach is useful for reaching or working around adjacent structures.
• Use the 9 1/4-inch length when additional reach within the operative field supports instrument positioning.
• In plastic surgery workflows, use for deliberate tissue elevation and retraction tasks appropriate to the procedure.
• Use the square handle to support a stable grasp and consistent orientation during instrument handling.
