Joker periosteal elevator
Cobb elevators
Used for stripping the paraspinous muscles and the periosteum off the laminae. This is done when performing a laminectomy during spinal surgerie.s
Langenbeck periosteal elevator
Used for reflecting the scalp flap off the skull when creating a bone flap during a craniotomy procedure

Used for manipulation, probing, and dissection of very fine nerves, tissues, and vessels
Cerebellar retractor
Used for retracting the scalp flap
Scoville nerve root retractor
Used for retracting the dura and the nerve root
Meyerding laminectomy retractor
Used for deep retraction during spinal surgery
Cloward vertebra spreader
Used for opening the vertebral space
Graham nerve hook
Microneedle holder
Used for holding very fine suture needles during microsurgical procedures
Cushing Pituitary Rongeur
Used for removing herniated disk fragments when performing a diskectomy
5 Penfield Dissector
Used for retracting, manipulating, and dissecting of nerves, vessels, bone, and tissues during craniotomies, carotid endarterectomies, and spinal procedures.
Woodson Elevator
Used for separating the dura from the cranium when creating a burr hole or turning a bone flap
Midas Rex Drill
Used for perforating the skull when creating burr holes or for turning a bone flap during a craniotomy
Micro Bayonet Scissors Titanium
Suture–Ticron
Non-absorbable surgical suture
Maintain strength over time and may be used in tissues that need long-term support
Malleable retractor
holds back tissues and organs during surgery.
Weitlander-Beckmann retractor prongs
used to hold soft tissues apart during surgical procedures to give the surgeon access to the site. The retractor is self-retaining, meaning it remains in place once it is positioned, freeing your hands.
Screwdriver blade
Screwdriver handle
