7 1/2" Langenbeck Periosteal Elevator

Langenbeck Periosteal Elevator: Precision for Orthopedic Procedures

The Langenbeck periosteal elevator is a fundamental instrument in orthopedic and maxillofacial surgery, designed to safely strip soft tissue from bone surfaces. Measuring 19.1 cm (7.5 inches), this tool offers optimal reach and control during delicate procedures. Its double-ended design features two distinct working tips, allowing surgeons to adapt to various anatomical constraints without switching instruments. Constructed from high-grade stainless steel, it ensures durability and resistance to corrosion under rigorous sterilization protocols. This elevator provides the tactile feedback necessary for precise dissection, minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues while effectively exposing underlying bone structures for accurate surgical intervention.

• Stripping periosteum from bone surfaces during orthopedic surgeries
• Elevating soft tissue flaps in maxillofacial procedures
• Exposing bone for fracture repair or implant placement
• Separating muscle attachments from skeletal structures

• Clean thoroughly after each use to remove biological debris before sterilization.
• Inspect edges regularly for nicks or dullness that could compromise tissue integrity.
• Store in a protective sleeve or rack to prevent damage to the working ends.

Always verify compatibility with your facility's specific sterilization equipment and protocols.
