Orthopedic Periosteal Elevator

Orthopedic Periosteal Elevator

The orthopedic periosteal elevator is a fundamental instrument in the operating room, designed to cleanly separate the periosteum from the underlying bone cortex. Its precision-ground blade and ergonomic handle allow surgeons to reflect soft tissue with minimal trauma, preserving vascular supply critical for bone healing. Available in multiple blade widths and curvatures, this elevator adapts to diverse anatomical sites — from the tibia and femur to the delicate surfaces of the hand and foot. Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel, it withstands repeated sterilization cycles while maintaining a sharp, reliable edge. This instrument is a staple in trauma, reconstruction, and joint arthroplasty procedures where controlled periosteal elevation is essential.

• Fracture reduction and internal fixation
• Bone graft harvesting and site preparation
• Total joint arthroplasty exposure
• Osteotomy and corrective bone surgery
• Pediatric orthopedic procedures
• Revision surgery with scarred tissue planes

• Clean immediately after use with neutral pH detergent
• Inspect blade edge for nicks or corrosion before each procedure
• Lubricate hinge points (if applicable) with surgical instrument lubricant
• Sterilize per facility protocol using validated autoclave cycles
