The McDonald elevator is a slim, double-ended instrument for fine, controlled dissection. It is used to lift periosteum, mucosa and soft tissue away from bone, and to separate delicate tissue layers. It is 19 cm long, with a smooth, slender handle and a small, flat, blunt blade at each end. The blunt edges let the surgeon work in tight spaces and stay in close contact with bone without cutting through tissue.
Typical uses include ENT, maxillofacial and plastic surgery of the head, such as nasal, palatal and facial procedures. It is also used in orthopaedic and spinal surgery, where the McDonald pattern is a standard tool for dissecting around bone and freeing dura. The elevator is made from surgical-grade stainless steel, is reusable and can be autoclaved. It is made in Tuttlingen, Germany, by nopa instrume
