Cloward Style Periosteal Elevator – #3 (Slightly Stronger, CVE)

The Cloward Style Periosteal Elevator – #3 (Slightly Stronger, CVE) is a precision-engineered neurosurgical and spinal instrument designed for controlled periosteal elevation, soft tissue reflection, and efficient dissection of tissue from bone surfaces. Based on the classic Cloward design, this #3 variant offers a slightly stronger working profile, making it suitable for procedures that require enhanced lifting force and stable tissue separation. The “Slightly Stronger (CVE)” configuration provides improved rigidity and durability at the working tip, allowing surgeons to apply more consistent pressure during periosteal elevation. This makes it particularly effective in spinal exposure procedures where firmer tissue adherence must be carefully released from vertebral structures. The curved Cloward-style design ensures excellent access to deep and confined surgical areas, enabling smooth navigation around bony contours. This enhances surgical precision while maintaining controlled dissection in neurosurgical and orthopedic environments. Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the instrument delivers exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability. It is fully autoclavable and designed for repeated sterilization cycles without compromising performance or structural integrity. The ergonomically balanced handle provides a secure grip and improves tactile feedback during delicate procedures. Its design reduces hand fatigue and allows precise force control, which is essential in long-duration spinal surgeries. The mirror-polished finish minimizes friction and prevents tissue adhesion, ensuring smoother dissection and improved visibility in the surgical field. This contributes to cleaner periosteal reflection with reduced risk of soft tissue damage. Overall, the Cloward Style Periosteal Elevator – #3 (Slightly Stronger, CVE) is a dependable and efficient instrument for spinal and neurosurgical applications requiring controlled strength, precision, and durability in periosteal elevation procedures.
