Freer Elevator Double Ended 17cm

The Freer Elevator Double Ended 17cm With Blunt Sharp Blades is a specialized orthopedic and ENT surgical instrument used for lifting, separating, and retracting delicate periosteum or mucoperiosteal tissue from bone. Precision-crafted for maximum control, this versatile elevator allows surgeons to switch seamlessly between blunt separation and sharp dissection without changing tools during delicate bone and tissue procedures.

Surgeons also refer to this instrument as a Freer periosteal elevator, Freer septum elevator, double-ended bone elevator, or Freer dissector tool.

Key Features

• ✔ Dual-purpose double-ended design with one sharp blade for precise incision and one blunt blade for gentle periosteal elevation.
• ✔ Ergonomic central handle with textured grip zones to prevent slippage during delicate rhinoplasty or orthopedic surgery.
• ✔ Manufactured from high-grade German stainless steel for exceptional durability and long-lasting edge retention.
• ✔ Slightly curved working tips designed to follow natural bone contours and minimize surrounding soft tissue trauma.
• ✔ Corrosion-resistant satin finish that reduces glare under high-intensity operating room lighting.

Clinical Applications

The Freer Double Ended Elevator is a staple in multiple surgical disciplines, particularly where precise bone and tissue separation is required:

• Rhinoplasty & ENT Surgery: Used extensively for lifting the nasal mucoperiosteum and cartilage during septoplasty or nasal reconstruction.
• Orthopedic & Hand Surgery: Ideal for scraping and elevating periosteum from small bones prior to fixation or osteotomy.
• Maxillofacial & Oral Surgery: Assists in reflecting soft tissue flaps and exposing facial bone structures cleanly.
• Neurosurgery & Spine Surgery: Employed in delicate spinal procedures to lift periosteum away from laminae and vertebrae.

Material & Sterilization

Manufactured from premium German stainless steel, this surgical tissue elevator provides maximum resistance to corrosion, pitting, and wear. It withstands repeated high-temperature steam sterilization (autoclaving up to 134°C) without degradation of blade sharpness or integrity. Proper washing, ultrasonic cleaning, and drying protocols ensure a long service life in demanding clinical environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Freer elevator used for?
A Freer elevator is a double-ended surgical instrument used primarily to elevate, lift, and separate periosteum or mucosal tissue from underlying bone and cartilage. It is widely utilized in ENT, rhinoplasty, oral, and orthopedic procedures to create clean tissue flaps without tearing delicate structures.

What is the difference between a Freer elevator and a Cottle elevator?
The main difference lies in blade structure and sharpness. The Freer elevator feature dual working ends—one sharp blade for incising/dissecting and one blunt blade for gentle scraping—whereas a Cottle elevator typically features flat, wider blades, often with measurement markings specifically calibrated for septal procedures.

Is this Freer septal elevator autoclavable?
Yes, this instrument is fully autoclavable and reusable. Made from high-grade German stainless steel, it withstands standard hospital steam autoclave cycles, chemical sterilization, and dry heat processing without dulling or rusting.

Do you offer custom branding or OEM manufacturing for this instrument?
Yes, Healermed Instruments provides custom branding and OEM manufacturing services. We can laser-etch your company logo, custom part numbers, or specific brand identifiers directly onto the instrument body and supply customized packaging for wholesale bulk orders.
