Frequently asked questions
Is this elevator crafted from surgical-grade material?
Yes, the Sklar Crego Elevator is manufactured from high-quality, professional-grade stainless steel. This material is specifically chosen for its:
- Durability against the rigors of frequent clinical use.
- Corrosion resistance during repeated sterilization cycles.
- Longevity, consistent with the Sklar OR Grade standard.
Does the handle design assist with surgical control?
Absolutely. The handle is meticulously designed for precision and stability during delicate neurosurgical procedures:
- Hollow-grip structure: Reduces weight for easier handling.
- Vertical grooves: Provides a textured, slip-resistant surface to ensure a steady and confident hold for the surgeon.
How does the blunt tip improve surgical safety?
The blunt tip and rounded jaws are engineered to minimize trauma to the surrounding tissues. By providing effective leverage while maintaining a non-sharp profile, the instrument allows for safer periosteum separation without unnecessarily damaging sensitive areas.
Is this instrument safe for patients with latex allergies?
Yes. The Sklar Crego Elevator is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for patients with latex sensitivities.

Yes, because it is crafted from high-quality stainless steel, it is specifically designed to resist the rigors of frequent, high-heat, and chemical sterilization processes required in a professional clinical setting.
Is this a reusable surgical instrument?
Yes, this is a reusable instrument. It is designed for long-term reliability and repeated use in surgical environments, provided it is cleaned and sterilized according to standard medical protocols.
Does the fully curved shape aid in surgical access?
Yes, the fully curved design of the blade is specifically intended to provide better access and reach during delicate neurosurgical maneuvers, allowing the surgeon to navigate the bone surface more effectively.
Is this tool compliant with trade agreement standards?
Yes, the Sklar Crego Elevator is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, ensuring it meets the regulatory requirements for purchase by government and clinical facilities requiring such certifications.
How long is the total length of the instrument?
The Sklar Crego Elevator has an overall length of 7-1/2 inches, providing an optimal balance between leverage and reach for neurosurgical applications.
What is the specialized use for this elevator?
This instrument is designed specifically for the separation of the periosteum from the bone. Its specific configuration—combining a blunt, curved tip with an ergonomic grooved handle—makes it an essential tool for precise neurosurgical procedures.
