Orthopedic Periosteal Elevator

Controlled Periosteal Elevation for Surgical Access

The Cloward Style Periosteal Elevator #4 is a surgical elevator designed to assist with separating and lifting periosteal tissue during operative exposure. Its focused form supports deliberate tissue elevation and helps maintain a clear working area while the instrument is manipulated by the surgeon. Suitable for applications in General Surgery and Neurosurgery, it provides a practical option for controlled periosteal handling during routine surgical workflows. The size designation helps teams identify the intended instrument quickly, supporting efficient setup and consistent selection when access and tissue-plane management are part of the procedure.

Use Cases

• Elevating periosteal tissue to support exposure during General Surgery procedures.
• Assisting with controlled tissue-plane separation when preparing an operative site.
• Supporting periosteal elevation during Neurosurgery workflows where deliberate exposure is required.
• Using the elevator as part of a coordinated instrument sequence for access and visualization.
