Orthopedic Periosteal Elevator Straight 6.0 mm Tip 18.4 cm (7.2)

Focused Control for Periosteal Elevation

The 7 1/4-inch periosteal elevator is a hand-held surgical instrument designed to elevate and separate periosteal tissue during procedural exposure. Its straight, sharp 6.0 mm blade provides a defined working edge for controlled handling, while the phenolic handle supports a steady grasp during repeated instrument manipulation. The straight profile offers predictable alignment when working along accessible tissue planes in General Surgery and Orthopedic procedures. Its compact length balances reach with direct hand control, making it a practical choice for tasks that call for deliberate periosteal elevation, retraction, or preparation without adding unnecessary instrument complexity.

Use Cases

• Elevate and separate periosteal tissue during General Surgery procedures requiring direct, controlled instrument handling.
• Support periosteal elevation and exposure in Orthopedic procedures involving bone-related surgical access.
• Use the straight sharp edge for focused engagement along accessible tissue planes.
• Apply the 6.0 mm blade when a defined, moderately narrow working surface is appropriate for the task.
