Langenbeck Periosteal Elevator Curved 17.0 mm Tip 19.7 cm (7.7)

Curved, Sharp Access for Controlled Periosteal Elevation

The Langenbeck periosteal elevator is designed to elevate and mobilize periosteal tissue during surgical exposure, combining a curved profile, sharp tip, and 17.0 mm wide blade with a flat handle. Its 7 3/4" length supports practical reach while the broad blade provides a defined working surface for controlled instrument placement. This configuration can support handling requirements across cardiovascular, ENT, general surgery, neurosurgery, and orthopedic workflows where periosteal elevation or tissue-plane access is part of the procedure. The specialty-neutral design allows teams to select one clearly defined elevator configuration for varied operative tasks without introducing unnecessary complexity.

Use Cases

• Elevating periosteal tissue during orthopedic exposure and bone-related surgical approaches.
• Supporting tissue-plane access and exposure in general surgery procedures requiring a periosteal elevator.
• Providing a curved, sharp working end for access during ENT procedures involving periosteal elevation.
• Assisting controlled periosteal elevation in neurosurgical exposure workflows where the instrument profile is appropriate.
• Supporting cardiovascular surgical exposure tasks when periosteal elevation is required within the operative approach.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the elevator according to facility protocols and the applicable manufacturer instructions for use.
• Inspect the curved blade, sharp tip, and handle before and after use for visible damage, distortion, or residue.
• Handle the sharp tip carefully during transport, cleaning, and setup to reduce the risk of accidental contact or damage.
• Store the instrument in a manner that protects the blade and prevents contact with other instruments.
