Abstract
A nerve elevator tool is disclosed for the recovery of nerve tissue from living or cadaveric donors with minimal or no damage to internal tissues or the external integrity of the body. The elevator tool includes a dissecting head affixed to a shaft with a handle. Advancing the dissecting head through the body with the attached shaft and handle causes the elevator to 'strip' tissues and structures from around the nerve and transect or rupture nerve branches with minimal avulsion, which then pass over and around the dissecting head. Once a sufficient section of nerve has been stripped, the second end of the nerve can be transected to completely free the nerve section, which can then be removed.
