Cottle-Hurd Skin Elevator

Description

The Cottle-Hurd Skin Elevator seems to be intended for accurate elevation of tissue, especially the periosteum (the membrane that surrounds bone), which is fragile and prone to ripping. Here is some helpful information:

Double-ended: It might have two ends with separate functions, such as the Cottle Double-Ended Septum Elevator:
One sharp end: This sharp end is likely to aid in penetrating the tissue planes while minimizing disturbance or tearing.
Other end blunt: This blunt end, like a spatula, is likely used to delicately elevate the tissue after initial access is established.
Wide blade: An 8mm wide blade is noted, implying that it might be useful for working on bigger areas.
