8 1/2" Cottle Elevator 4.5mm wide blades DOUBLE ENDED

Double-Ended Access for Controlled Tissue Elevation

The 8 1/2" Cottle Elevator is a double-ended surgical elevator designed for tissue elevation and separation during ENT and General Surgery procedures. Its two 4.5 mm wide blades provide a consistent working profile at either end, helping clinicians select the appropriate blade orientation within the operative field. The 8.5" overall length supports access while keeping the handle positioned away from the immediate site of work. This practical configuration can streamline instrument changes and support controlled handling across tasks that require careful elevation, exposure, or tissue-plane development.

Use Cases

• Elevating and separating tissue during ENT procedures where a narrow 4.5 mm blade profile is appropriate.
• Supporting tissue elevation and exposure tasks in General Surgery.
• Using either double-ended blade to adapt the instrument orientation to the working field.
• Providing extended hand positioning through the 8.5" overall length during operative handling.

Specifications

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the elevator according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect both 4.5 mm blades and the instrument surfaces before and after use for visible soil, damage, or deformation.
• Handle and store the double-ended instrument in a manner that helps protect both working ends from contact damage.

General use; follow facility protocols.
