The Periosteal Elevators are available in two configurations designed for compatible orthopedic and surgical applications involving controlled periosteal elevation and tissue handling. The range includes an angled shaft with a straight blade end and a straight shaft with a rounded blade end.

The two configurations provide different overall lengths and blade dimensions while maintaining a consistent 4.5" (11.4 cm) handle length.

Available Configurations

Angled Shaft with Straight Blade End

This configuration features an angled shaft with a straight blade end. It has an overall length of 7.75" (19.7 cm), a 4.5" (11.4 cm) handle, and a 19 × 14 mm blade.

Straight Shaft with Rounded Blade End

This configuration features a straight shaft with a rounded blade end. It measures 7.5" (19.1 cm) overall, with a 4.5" (11.4 cm) handle and a 16 × 13 mm blade.

Design and Configuration

The two variations provide distinct working-end configurations:

• Angled Shaft / Straight Blade End: 7.75" (19.7 cm) overall length; 19 × 14 mm blade
• Straight Shaft / Rounded Blade End: 7.5" (19.1 cm) overall length; 16 × 13 mm blade

Both versions use a 4.5" (11.4 cm) handle.

Orthopedic Applications

These periosteal elevators are designed for compatible orthopedic and surgical applications involving periosteal elevation and tissue handling. Selection should be based on the required shaft configuration, blade-end design, and applicable surgical technique.

Handling and Use Considerations

Choose the configuration appropriate for the intended application. The instrument should be handled by appropriately trained healthcare professionals according to the applicable surgical technique and manufacturer instructions.

Cleaning and Instrument Care

After use, clean the elevator according to validated instrument-processing procedures. Inspect the blade, shaft, and handle for contamination, deformation, wear, or other damage before subsequent processing or use.

Sterilization and Inspection

Inspect each instrument for cleanliness and structural integrity before use. Sterilization should be performed according to the manufacturer's validated instructions and applicable healthcare facility protocols.
