The Modified Darrach Type Glenoid Elevators 25mm Orthopedic Instruments are specialized orthopedic surgical instruments designed for controlled elevation, retraction, and manipulation of tissue and bone during procedures involving the shoulder and glenoid region. Their Darrach-type configuration provides a practical working profile for orthopedic surgeons requiring precise access and controlled instrument placement within a confined surgical field.

The 25mm working dimension offers a useful balance between reach and maneuverability, making this glenoid elevator suitable for procedures where accurate positioning around the glenoid is essential. The working end is designed to provide effective contact with the intended anatomical area while allowing the surgeon to apply controlled leverage during surgical exposure and manipulation.

This orthopedic glenoid elevator can be used in a variety of shoulder and reconstructive orthopedic procedures where elevation or controlled retraction of tissue is required. It may be useful during glenoid exposure, shoulder surgery, joint reconstruction, orthopedic trauma procedures, and other applications requiring specialized instruments for access around the glenoid. The instrument’s design helps improve visibility of the operative site while supporting careful handling of surrounding anatomical structures.

Manufactured for professional surgical environments, the Modified Darrach Type Glenoid Elevator is typically produced from surgical-grade stainless steel, providing strength, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with standard surgical instrument care procedures. Stainless steel construction also supports repeated cleaning and sterilization when the instrument is designed and maintained for reusable use according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

The instrument’s balanced construction allows surgeons and operating-room personnel to handle it comfortably during procedures. Its rigid shaft provides the stability needed for controlled manipulation, while the shaped working end facilitates accurate positioning. The overall configuration is intended for dependable performance in demanding orthopedic surgical settings.

A high-quality Darrach type elevator should maintain a smooth surface and properly finished working end to help facilitate cleaning and reduce areas where biological material could accumulate. Proper instrument maintenance is important for preserving surface quality, mechanical performance, and long-term durability.

For reusable surgical applications, the instrument should be cleaned promptly after use and processed according to the healthcare facility’s validated sterilization protocol and the manufacturer’s instructions. Appropriate handling, inspection, cleaning, lubrication where applicable, and sterilization can help maintain the instrument’s functional condition over repeated procedures.

The Modified Darrach Type Glenoid Elevators 25mm are a practical addition to orthopedic instrument collections, particularly for surgical teams requiring specialized tools for shoulder and glenoid exposure. Its focused design, durable construction, and controlled working profile make it suitable for professional orthopedic environments where precision and reliable instrument handling are essential.
