Semb Costal Periosteal Elevators
Crafted from surgical-grade German stainless steel, our Semb Costal Periosteal Elevators are designed for precise maneuverability and minimal tissue disruption during surgical procedures involving the ribs (costae) and surrounding tissues. These elevators come in various sizes and tip configurations to accommodate the specific needs of the surgeon and surgical approach.
- Varied Tip Designs (Figures 1 - 7): The range of tip styles allows for versatility in elevating and reflecting the periosteum (the membrane lining the bone) from the ribs with minimal damage to underlying tissues.
- Thin, Flexible Profiles: Facilitate access to delicate areas around the ribs and minimize disruption to surrounding structures.
- Ergonomic Handle Design: Provides surgeons with a secure grip and allows for controlled manipulation during dissection.
- Available in Multiple Lengths (17.5 cm, 20.5 cm, 21 cm, 22.5 cm): Offer options for optimal maneuverability in different surgical fields.
Semb Costal Periosteal Elevators can be used for several types of procedures:
- Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery (MICS): Valuable in MICS procedures for elevating and reflecting the periosteum from the ribs to gain access to the chest cavity.
- Thoracotomy Procedures: Used to elevate and detach the periosteum from the ribs to expose the underlying chest wall structures.
- Rib Resection Procedures: In certain procedures requiring rib removal, such as for lung cancer surgery, these elevators aid in carefully elevating and detaching the periosteum from the ribs before rib segment resection.
