Septum Elevator
A Septum Elevator is a surgical instrument used mostly in ENT (Ear, Nose, Throat) operations — especially in septoplasty or rhinoplasty — to lift or separate the mucoperichondrium (and sometimes mucoperiosteum) from the underlying cartilaginous or bony septum. This lifting is needed so that the surgeon can access, trim, reshape, or repair the cartilage or bone without injuring the soft tissue lining.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Working End / Tip | Usually has one or two tips/blades. Tips may be blunt, semi‑sharp, or sharp, depending on how easily separation is needed. Some tips are spatula‑shaped, round‑edged, or tapered. The shape is designed to minimize damage to the mucosa. | |||||||||
Double‑ended vs Single‑ended | Many septum elevators are double‑ended: one side may be sharp (for initial dissection) and the other blunt (for lifting). Single‑ended versions also exist. | |||||||||
Blade Widths | Vary typically from ~3 mm up to 6‑10 mm or more, depending on manufacturer and intended use. Narrower tips for delicate areas; wider ones for broader elevation. | |||||||||
Length | Usually in the range of ~ 16‑24 cm (≈ 6¼‑9½ inches), depending on design. Longer shafts help reach deeper areas but may reduce control if too l
