Frequently asked questions

Is this elevator designed for heavy-duty neurosurgery?

Yes, this instrument is purpose-built for delicate neurosurgical applications. It is specifically engineered to effectively separate the periosteum from the bone, making it a reliable tool for professional surgical environments.

What is the benefit of the concave handle design?

The concave handle is specifically designed for:

  • Enhanced Ergonomics: Providing a secure, comfortable grip.
  • Improved Control: Allowing for the fine motor precision required during delicate tissue and bone separation.
Is the material safe for patients with sensitivities?

Yes, this instrument is 100% latex-free and is not made with any natural rubber latex, ensuring it is safe for use in clinical settings with sensitive patients.

How durable is the stainless steel construction?

The elevator is crafted from high-quality stainless steel, designed to withstand repeated sterilization cycles. It is a robust, reusable instrument backed by a Lifetime Warranty.

What kind of tip does this instrument feature?

This elevator features a blunt tip combined with a smooth working edge. This design helps to minimize trauma to surrounding tissues while facilitating efficient wedging between the periosteum and the bone.

Is this instrument CensiTrac compatible?

Yes, the instrument is CensiTrac marked, ensuring it meets the necessary standards for instrument tracking and organizational protocol.

How does the blade size compare to other styles?

The instrument features a 6mm blade, which is comparable in function and size to Cohen or Pennybacker style instruments. This size is specifically optimized for narrow, precise lifting actions.

Are there special storage requirements for the instrument?

As the instrument is shipped non-sterile, it must undergo standard facility-approved sterilization protocols before its first use and between subsequent procedures to ensure patient safety.

Is this product compliant with federal procurement standards?

Yes, this Sklar Cushing Elevator is TAA compliant, making it suitable for procurement in environments that require adherence to Trade Agreements Act regulations.

Is the blade curvature suitable for complex bone structures?

The instrument features a slightly curved profile. This intentional curvature is designed to follow the natural contours of the bone, making it easier to wedge and separate the periosteum effectively.
