Cottle-McKenty elevator 8 1/2" double-ended curved 5.0mm wide blades flat handle

Controlled Elevation for ENT and General Surgical Workflows

The Cottle-McKenty elevator is a double-ended surgical elevator designed for controlled tissue elevation and separation. Its 8 1/2-inch length supports reach within the operative field, while the curved 5.0mm-wide blades provide a focused working profile for detailed handling. The flat handle offers a straightforward grip and familiar instrument control during repetitive surgical tasks. With working ends at both sides, the instrument can support workflow efficiency by reducing the need to exchange instruments for different elevation requirements. Its specialty-neutral design is suitable for relevant ENT and general surgery applications where careful, deliberate tissue handling is required.

Use Cases

• Elevate and separate tissue during ENT procedures requiring a narrow, curved working end.
• Support controlled tissue handling in general surgery through the instrument's elevator-style blade profile.
• Use the 8 1/2-inch length when additional reach within the operative field is useful.
• Select between the double-ended working blades to support changing elevation tasks without immediately exchanging instruments.
• Use the flat handle for direct, deliberate manipulation during surgical instrument handling.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the elevator promptly after use according to facility procedures and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect both curved blades and the flat handle for visible soil, damage, distortion, or compromised working edges before use.
• Handle the working ends carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help protect the blade profiles.
• Store the instrument in a clean, dry location with the working ends protected from contact damage.

General use; follow facility protocols.
