Frequently asked questions
Is this surgical instrument built to last?
Yes, the Sklar Howarth Elevator is constructed from high-quality stainless steel and is specifically designed as a reusable surgical instrument. Its durability is backed by a comprehensive lifetime warranty, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding clinical environments.
Is the material safe for patients with latex allergies?
Absolutely. This instrument is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for use in surgical settings where latex-free compliance is required.
Does this tool meet federal procurement standards?
Yes, the Sklar Howarth Elevator is TAA compliant, meeting the requirements for the Trade Agreements Act, which makes it suitable for institutional and government procurement needs.
What is the benefit of the sharp/blunt tip design?
The dual sharp/blunt (s/b) tip configuration provides versatility during procedures. This allows the surgeon to switch between precise elevation or retraction tasks using a single instrument, maximizing efficiency during specialized surgical work.
Is the handle designed for a secure grip?
Yes, the elevator features a solid flat handle designed to offer a stable and secure hold during use, providing the control necessary for precision-focused surgical applications.
Does this arrive sterile and ready for use?
The Sklar Howarth Elevator is delivered non-sterile. As a reusable surgical instrument, it must be properly cleaned, disinfected, and sterilized according to your facility’s protocols before its first use and between subsequent procedures.
How long is the instrument overall?
The instrument measures 8-1/2 inches in length, providing an optimal reach for specialized elevation and retraction procedures.
What does the Sklar grade quality imply?
The “Sklar grade” designation signifies that the instrument meets the rigorous quality standards established by Sklar, ensuring that the metallurgy, finishing, and structural integrity of the stainless steel meet professional medical requirements.
Is the working edge smooth?
Yes, the working edge of the elevator is smooth, which is designed to assist in effective tissue elevation or retraction while minimizing unnecessary trauma to the surrounding area.
How is the curvature of the shaft beneficial?
The curved/angled design of the shaft is specifically engineered to improve access and visibility in anatomical areas where a straight instrument would be less effective, facilitating better maneuverability for the surgeon.
