Freer Elevator and Raspatory 185 mm / 7-1/4"

The Freer Elevator and Raspatory, 185 mm / 7-1/4", is the longer of the two sizes. The additional 35 mm matters more than the figure suggests. Periosteal elevation requires the blade to be kept in constant contact with bone, and that contact depends on the operator controlling the angle precisely. When the working site is deep, a short instrument forces the hand into the approach where it both obscures the view and makes small angular corrections difficult.

The longer shaft keeps the hand outside the field while the blade remains under accurate control. This size suits nasal procedures, deeper oral work and flap elevation in larger patients. The blade retains the slim flexible profile that allows it to follow the bone surface.

• 185 mm length gives added reach over the 150 mm pattern
• Keeps the hand outside the approach during deeper work
• Allows accurate angular control where a short instrument cannot
• Suited to nasal procedures and flap elevation in larger patients
• Retains the slim flexible blade profile that follows bone contour
• Fully autoclavable surgical grade stainless steel

When is the 185 mm size preferable?

At deeper sites, where a shorter instrument forces the hand into the approach and obscures the view.

Does the longer shaft affect control?

It improves it at depth, since the hand stays clear while the blade angle remains accurately controlled.
