The image displays a McGlamry metatarsal elevator, a specialized surgical instrument used primarily in orthopedic and podiatric procedures. It features a flat, broad handle for a secure grip and a curved, spoon-shaped blade at the working end. This design allows surgeons to carefully elevate soft tissues from bone surfaces, particularly around the metatarsal region, to improve surgical access and precision. The elevator is commonly used in bunion surgeries, osteotomies, and other foot reconstruction procedures.
