19 cm, 7½”
double ended
The 11-923-19 is a Watson-Cheyne elevator, a double ended instrument measuring 19 cm, roughly 7 and a half inches, long used in orthopaedic and general surgery for separating periosteum from bone during exposure. The Watson-Cheyne pattern is one of the more established periosteal elevator designs, valued for its straightforward profile and reliable handling.
Its double ended construction places two working tips on a single shaft, allowing the surgeon to shift between broader elevation and more targeted work along the bone edge without reaching for a second instrument. As part of our bone surgery instruments, this pattern is commonly found on trauma, orthopaedic, and reconstructive trays wherever clean periosteal separation is a necessary first step before plating, grafting, or fracture management.
The moderate length of this instrument suits a range of surgical fields, offering enough reach for common orthopaedic access points while remaining compact enough for careful, controlled use. Surgeons who have worked with the Watson-Cheyne pattern will recognize its balance of stability and manoeuvrability, characteristics that have kept it in regular use across generations of bone surgery instrument sets.
Adding this elevator to a working set gives a surgical team a dependable, well tested option for periosteal elevation, complementing curettes, bone holding forceps, and other instruments used during bone exposure and preparation.
