How Grey Medical’s Premium Elevator, Dissector, and Raspatories can revamp your surgical kit?

Grey Medical’s ready collection of premium elevators, dissectors, and raspatories can be searched if you are looking for a revamp. Below is a brief introduction of these surgical instruments for your convenience, precisely:

Premium Elevators

During ortho and neural surgeries, surgeons may need to lift and scrape bony structures and neural tissues. Elevators are used for this purpose. We harbour different designs for different needs of the surgery. 

Key Features

Usually, elevators have two working ends for better manipulation. However, these can be obtained in a single-blade configuration. Handles are ergonomic, and different blade sizes make the surgeries easier than ever.

Example and Application

The following list mentions major elevators and their uses, such as: 

  • Periosteal elevator: They work to lift the periosteum, separating the membrane of one bone from another. 
  • Luxating elevator: It is usually used for tooth extraction. 
  • Cobb spinal elevator: Spinal surgeries use this elevator. Soft tissues around the spine can be best elevated by this type. 

Surgical-Grade Dissectors

Surgical-grade dissectors find usage during minimally invasive medical treatments and surgery. They work to cut and dissect the tissues when the need arises. 

Key Features

Dissectors feature a fine tip and a pointed tip for targeted action and incision. However, during delicate procedures, blunt-edge dissectors can also be used. The handles are ergonomic to prevent accidental slippage and, consequently, trauma. 

Examples and Application

Note the following major types of surgical dissectors: 

  • Blunt dissectors: Often, general and laparoscopic surgeries use blunt dissectors to separate joined tissues from each other. 
  • Sharp dissectors: They provide the surgeon with the ability to cut precisely. Usually, neurosurgeries and microsurgeries use sharp dissectors. 
  • Rhoton micro dissector: It is a compact and small dissector. Mostly, neurosurgical procedures use this type.

Precise Raspatories

Precise raspatories are scraping tools for a finished and smooth surface. They work on bones and bony structures to shape them. Mostly, maxillofacial, orthopaedic, and plastic surgeries benefit from this file-like tool. 

Key Features

Mostly, rasps have a coarse working end for efficiently filing the bone. They can be obtained in straight and curved styles. 

Examples and Application

Below is a quick round-up of major raspatories, such as: 

  • Bone rasp: They are excellent for reshaping and trimming bone surfaces
  • Lewis nasal rasp: Nasal bones need to be filed carefully. Lewis nasal rasp works fine for the job.
  • Cottle rasp: This finds use in reconstructive nasal surgery. They smooth down the nasal surfaces and bones.
