Gruber Suction Elevator

Description

The Gruber Suction Elevator is a medical device used in ear, nose, and throat (ENT), maxillofacial, and plastic surgery . It integrates two tasks into a single tool, minimizing the need to switch between tools during surgery .

Here’s what makes the Gruber Suction Elevator useful:

• Multifunctionality: It raises tissues (e.g., subperiosteal and subperichondrial flaps) while sucking fluids or debris . This increases surgical efficiency while keeping the operational field uncluttered.
• The tool has a long, straight tube for accessing deep locations such as the nasal cavity.
• It has a flat tip that acts as an elevator spatula, lifting tissues .
• The suction port is placed at the front of the tip, allowing for simultaneous suctioning and raising.
• Suction is controlled via a thumb plate equipped with a finger valve .
