  <dc:title>McDonald Periosteal Elevator</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Square-handled, double-ended elevator. One side has a straight, flat edge while the other has a flat edge curving down. No manufacturer's mark present, but there is an inscription on one side saying "Stainless" while the other side is messily inscribed with "L.R.". This elevator is commonly used in orthopaedic surgeries. It is a handheld tool with a curved, blunt tip to elevate delicate tissues during surgical procedures. The instrument’s curved tip allows for precise control, and its blunt edge reduces the risk of tissue damage.</dc:description>
