Orthopedic Periosteal Elevator 13.0 cm (5")

Orthopedic Periosteal Elevator 13.0 cm (5")

This orthopedic periosteal elevator is a precision instrument designed for the careful separation of soft tissue from bone surfaces during surgical procedures. Measuring 13.0 centimeters, or approximately five inches in length, it offers surgeons optimal control and reach within confined anatomical spaces. The tool features a robust, ergonomic handle that ensures a secure grip even when wearing gloves, reducing hand fatigue during extended operations. Its specialized tip geometry allows for effective lifting and stripping of the periosteum without causing unnecessary trauma to surrounding tissues. Constructed from high-grade stainless steel, this elevator withstands repeated sterilization cycles while maintaining its structural integrity and sharpness, making it an essential addition to any orthopedic surgical catalog.

• Lifting and separating the periosteum from underlying bone structures during fracture repair surgeries.
• Facilitating exposure of bone surfaces for accurate placement of orthopedic implants and screws.
• Assisting in soft tissue dissection around joints during arthroscopic or open joint procedures.
• Providing controlled leverage for retracting muscle layers away from surgical sites in orthopedic interventions.

• Clean thoroughly with enzymatic detergents immediately after use to prevent tissue residue buildup.
• Inspect regularly for signs of bending, dulling, or corrosion before each sterilization cycle.
• Store in protective sleeves or designated compartments to avoid damage to the working tips.
• Follow manufacturer guidelines for compatible sterilization methods, typically autoclaving at standard temperatures.

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