Orthopedic Periosteal Elevator 18.0 cm (7")

Orthopedic Periosteal Elevator — 18.0 cm (7")

The orthopedic periosteal elevator at 18.0 cm (7 inches) is a hand instrument used to lift and separate periosteum from bone during orthopedic and trauma procedures. Its length gives surgeons the reach and control needed for both superficial and deeper dissection in the operating room, while keeping the working tip visible in the field. This instrument is suited to hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and clinics that maintain orthopedic and general surgical trays. Proper handling and routine inspection help preserve the sharp edge and smooth surface that make the elevator effective and easy to clean.

• Elevating periosteum from bone during fracture exposure and open reduction procedures
