Elevators

The Rhoton general elevator combines angled geometry with a blunt working edge for controlled tissue separation in deep cranial spaces. At 191mm length, the instrument extends reach to the ventricles and cisterns while providing tactile feedback through the handle. The angled tip accesses confined surgical corridors near the brainstem and cranial nerves.

Features & Benefits

• Angled tip penetrates deep cranial spaces
• 191mm length reaches ventricular and cisternal anatomy
• Blunt edge protects nervous tissue during retraction
• Precision Rhoton geometry for fine neurodissection

The curved Rhoton general elevator separates dural and adventitial planes during microsurgical neurosurgical dissection. A standard curve at the working tip approaches the cortex, cranial nerves, and surrounding vascular structures at an oblique angle, while the 7-1/2 inch (191mm) overall length keeps the surgeon's hand outside the operating microscope's view. Stainless‑steel construction supports the polished tip across repeat sterilization.

Features & Benefits

• Curved tip separates dural and adventitial planes
• Oblique approach suits cortex and cranial‑nerve work
• 7‑1/2 inch (191mm) length clears microscope view
• Stainless‑steel build endures repeat reprocessing

The double‑ended Woodson dural separator/packer at 178mm pairs a sharp blade for dural separation with a blunt packer face for surgicel or gelfoam placement during neurosurgical hemostasis. The two ends cover the most common neurosurgical handling tasks in one instrument.

Features & Benefits

• Double‑ended dural separator and surgicel packer
• Combines two neurosurgical handling tasks in one tool
• 178mm length suits craniotomy and spine work
• Stainless construction supports repeat reprocessing

This double-ended Woodson dural separator/packer supports membrane dissection and packing during dural opening and closure. The blunt ends prevent inadvertent dural perforation, while the dual-end design provides flexibility in instrument positioning. At 178mm, the length accommodates midline and paramedian dural work across routine and complex neuro cases.

Features & Benefits

• Double‑ended design provides flexibility in dural dissection
• Blunt ends prevent inadvertent dural perforation
• 178mm length supports midline and paramedian membrane work
• Reliable separation and packing across routine dural cases

The Woodson double‑ended dural separator and packer is designed for controlled separation of dura from bone and surrounding soft tissue during cranial decompression and posterior fossa exposure. The dual ends enable both blunt dissection and packing functions without instrument exchange. Overall length of 178mm supports stable hand positioning during extended intracranial procedures.

Features & Benefits

• Double‑ended design for dural separation and packing
• Blunt tips prevent inadvertent dural laceration injury
• Straight geometry enables linear dissection work
• 178mm length for controlled cranial procedures
