Langenbeck Periosteal Elevator - 18 cm (7 1/8")
Constructed of surgical-grade German stainless steel, our Langenbeck Periosteal Elevator is a highly reliable and versatile instrument used in orthopedic, dental, and reconstructive surgeries. Designed to carefully separate, lift, and retract soft tissue or periosteum from bone surfaces, it is an essential tool for surgeons and clinicians requiring precision and durability in their procedures.
The Langenbeck Periosteal Elevator was named after German surgeon Bernhard von Langenbeck, who pioneered advancements in surgical instruments during the 19th century. This tool is also sometimes referred to as a bone lifter due to its primary function in periosteal dissection and retraction.
- Blunt, Curved Blade: The rounded, slightly curved tip allows for atraumatic elevation of the periosteum or soft tissues while minimizing damage to underlying bone structures.
- Flat, Ergonomic Handle: Provides a comfortable and non-slip grip, providing superior control during delicate maneuvers.
- Balanced Design: The well-balanced design ensures precise handling and control, allowing for accurate tissue elevation with minimal effort.
Applications:
- Orthopedic Surgery: Used to elevate periosteum during fracture reductions or bone grafting procedures.
- Dental and Oral Surgery: Ideal for exposing bone in periodontal surgery, implant placement, or trauma repairs.
- Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery: Helps lift soft tissues during facial and cranial procedures, ensuring clear access to bone structures.
- General Surgical Procedures: Facilitates tissue retraction and bone exposure during orthopedic or maxillofacial interventions.
