Doyen Rib Elevator Right 17 cm Surgical Instruments

Description

Product Overview

The Doyen Rib Elevator Right 17 cm is a purpose‑engineered surgical instrument crafted by MuskalMed, a recognized name in medical device manufacturing. Constructed from high‑grade stainless steel, the elevator offers exceptional corrosion resistance, ensuring long‑term durability even after repeated sterilization cycles. The 17 cm shaft length provides optimal reach for deep thoracic and orthopedic procedures while maintaining a compact profile that fits comfortably within the surgeon’s hand.

Every component of the elevator has been refined for tactile precision. The tip is finely polished to a rounded edge, allowing gentle separation of rib fragments without causing unnecessary bone damage. The instrument’s balance point is strategically positioned near the handle, reducing hand fatigue during extended operations. MuskalMed’s rigorous quality control processes guarantee that each unit meets ISO 13485 standards for medical device safety and performance.

Key specifications include a 17 cm overall length, a 2 mm tip width, and a weight of approximately 45 grams. The instrument is compatible with standard surgical trays and can be autoclaved at 121 °C for up to 30 minutes without compromising structural integrity. Its sleek, mirror‑finished surface not only enhances visual inspection but also facilitates easy cleaning between cases.

Designed for both teaching hospitals and high‑volume surgical centers, the Doyen Rib Elevator integrates seamlessly into existing instrument sets. Whether used in open thoracotomies, minimally invasive rib‑splinting, or complex spinal reconstructions, the elevator delivers consistent performance that surgeons can rely on day after day.

Usage

In orthopedic surgery, the Doyen Rib Elevator is employed to lift and separate rib segments during procedures such as costal cartilage harvesting, rib fracture fixation, and chest wall reconstruction. Its precise tip allows surgeons to create a controlled plane between bone and soft tissue, minimizing the risk of inadvertent injury to surrounding structures.

Thoracic surgeons benefit from the instrument’s ergonomic handle when performing delicate maneuvers within the confined space of the thoracic cavity. The smooth, non‑slipping grip ensures that the elevator can be positioned accurately, even when operating under magnified visualization or with limited access ports.

Beyond the operating room, the elevator serves as an essential teaching tool in surgical education programs. Its intuitive design helps trainees develop a nuanced feel for bone handling, fostering confidence and competence before progressing to more complex instruments.

FAQ

What sterilization methods are compatible with the Doyen Rib Elevator?

The elevator can be autoclaved at standard cycles (121 °C, 30 minutes) without loss of performance. It is also compatible with low‑temperature hydrogen peroxide plasma and ethylene oxide gas, making it suitable for a variety of hospital sterilization protocols.

Can the instrument be used in minimally invasive procedures?

Yes. The 17 cm length and slim profile allow the elevator to be introduced through standard laparoscopic ports or small thoracoscopic incisions. Its precise tip facilitates controlled rib manipulation even in confined spaces.

Is the Doyen Rib Elevator covered by a warranty?

MuskalMed provides a two‑year warranty that covers any defects in material or workmanship. Should an issue arise, customers can contact our support team for replacement or repair options.

How does the ergonomic handle improve surgical performance?

The handle is contoured to fit naturally in the surgeon’s palm, distributing pressure evenly across the fingers. This design reduces muscle strain during prolonged procedures and enhances tactile feedback, allowing for more accurate bone handling.

What makes the stainless‑steel tip different from other elevators?

The tip is meticulously polished to a rounded edge, which reduces the likelihood of splintering or creating sharp edges on the rib surface. This smooth finish promotes gentle tissue separation while maintaining the strength needed for firm elevation.
