Read elevator 8 1/2" double-ended blunt straight and curved blades flat handle

Versatile Double-Ended Access for Controlled Elevation

The Read elevator is an 8 1/2-inch surgical elevator designed for routine tissue elevation and separation where a dependable, hand-controlled instrument is needed. Its double-ended configuration combines straight and curved blunt blades, giving ENT and general surgery teams practical options for approaching different working angles without changing instruments as often. The flat handle supports a familiar manual grip, while the blunt blade design is suited to controlled handling during delicate procedural steps. This specialty-neutral elevator can help streamline instrument selection and provide useful reach within established surgical workflows, subject to the clinician’s technique and facility protocols.

Use Cases

• Elevating and separating tissue during ENT procedures using the straight or curved blade as the approach requires.
• Supporting general surgery workflows that call for a hand-controlled elevator with blunt blade ends.
• Selecting the straight end for a direct approach or the curved end when the working angle calls for an alternate profile.
• Using one double-ended instrument to support changing access requirements during a procedure.

Specifications

Care & Handling
