The freer elevator sits in Sklar's elevators line, in the Sklar OR Grade range. This instrument is an orthopedic instrument that can be used as a multipurpose tool in many procedures, although it is primarily used for blunt debulking and lifting periosteum from bones in confined areas. This double-ended instrument typically has a rounded handle with two slightly curved, tear-drop tips. It is made of stainless steel. As a reusable instrument, it returns to service after cleaning and sterilization between cases.
