Frequently asked questions
Is this elevator suitable for repeated clinical use?
Yes, this instrument is specifically engineered as a reusable tool. It is crafted from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring it can withstand repeated sterilization cycles without compromising its structural integrity.
Does the handle design provide a secure grip?
The instrument features a solid handle, which is designed to provide surgeons and technicians with a reliable, ergonomic grip, ensuring stability and control during delicate procedures.
Is the material safe for patients with sensitivities?
Yes, the Sklar Martin-Cushing Periosteal Elevator is 100% latex-free, making it safe for use in medical environments on patients with natural rubber latex allergies.
What kind of tip does this instrument feature?
It features a blunt, slightly curved tip with a round working edge. This specific geometry is designed to effectively elevate the periosteum from bone surfaces while minimizing the risk of causing undue tissue damage.
How long is the instrument?
The total length of the instrument is 7-3/4 inches, providing a balance of reach and precision necessary for orthopedic or neurological surgical tasks.
Does this tool meet government procurement standards?
Yes, this instrument is TAA compliant, meaning it meets the regulatory requirements necessary for government and federal medical procurement.
How should I prepare this instrument before first use?
The instrument is supplied non-sterile. Prior to its first use and subsequent uses, it must undergo proper cleaning and sterilization processes according to your facility’s standard surgical instrument protocols.
Is the stainless steel construction durable for long-term use?
Absolutely. Sklar utilizes premium-grade stainless steel, which is the gold standard for surgical instruments due to its high resistance to corrosion, strength, and ability to endure the harsh conditions of autoclaving and chemical sterilization.
What is the primary surgical application for this tool?
This elevator is ideal for orthopedic and neurological procedures where the precise separation of the periosteum from the bone surface is required.
Is the instrument lightweight and easy to handle?
Despite its professional-grade, solid construction, the instrument is very light, weighing approximately 0.01 pounds. This weight profile reduces hand fatigue during lengthy or repetitive surgical interventions.
