Torgerson, C.S., & Conrad, K. (2009). 20-Year Experience With The Conrad Modification of the Freer Elevator As A Pull-In Suture Introducer. Arch. Facial Plastic Surgery. 11(4): 267-269.

Abstract
A modified Freer elevator was created to aid the safe placement of alloplasts in a subcutaneous dissection pocket. We believe that this innovation represents a better way to insert non-rigid facial alloplasts and grafts, and that it contributes to the reduced technique-related complications of migration, kinking and asymmetry, as well as minimizing tissue trauma and creation of unnecessary and excessive surgical explorations.
