Orthopedic Periosteal Elevator Straight 20.0 mm Tip 18.4 cm (7.2)

Controlled Elevation for General and Orthopedic Surgical Workflows

A periosteal elevator is a hand-held surgical instrument used to lift and separate periosteal tissue during exposure and preparation. This 7 1/4-inch straight model combines a sharp, 20.0 mm wide blade with a round edge to support deliberate instrument placement and tissue elevation in General Surgery and Orthopedic workflows. Its phenolic handle provides a defined gripping surface for controlled handling during repetitive manual tasks. The straight profile offers a familiar approach for working along accessible anatomical surfaces, while the broad blade supports contact across the intended working area without adding unnecessary instrument complexity.

Use Cases

• Elevating periosteal tissue during general surgical exposure and preparation.
• Supporting orthopedic procedures that require controlled periosteal elevation along accessible bone surfaces.
• Using the straight shaft and sharp tip for deliberate placement at the tissue interface.
• Applying the 20.0 mm wide blade when a broader contact area is appropriate for the task.
• Handling repeated elevation steps with the phenolic handle as part of a manual surgical instrument workflow.
