Description
The Tiemann 80‑1800‑5 Blunt Bone Lever / Elevator is a precision stainless steel instrument designed for gentle lifting, positioning, and manipulation of bone or tissue during surgical procedures.
This instrument features a flat, elongated handle with an angled distal section, terminating in a small, blunt, rounded tip. Unlike true retractors with hooks or lips, the fully blunt end allows for atraumatic contact and controlled leverage, making it suitable for easing structures apart rather than holding them under tension.
The angled geometry provides mechanical advantage and improved access in confined operative areas, while the slim profile allows for precise placement. Its one-piece stainless steel construction ensures durability and reliable tactile feedback during use.
