Freer-Obwegeser periosteal elevator 8 1/2" double-ended, slightly curved 6.5mm wide blades round handle

Controlled Periosteal Elevation for ENT and General Surgery Workflows

The Freer-Obwegeser periosteal elevator is a double-ended instrument designed for lifting and separating periosteal tissue during surgical dissection. Its 8 1/2-inch length provides useful reach, while the slightly curved, 6.5mm-wide blades support controlled engagement in accessible operative areas. A round handle offers a familiar grasp for instrument manipulation, and the two working ends allow the user to select the blade orientation suited to the immediate task. For ENT and general surgery workflows, this elevator supports organized tissue handling while helping reduce the need to exchange instruments during sequential dissection steps.

Use Cases

• Elevate and separate periosteal tissue during ENT procedures where a double-ended elevator supports changing working ends as access requirements shift.
• Support periosteal dissection in general surgery by selecting the slightly curved blade orientation appropriate to the operative field.
• Use the 6.5mm-wide blades for controlled contact with tissue during routine elevation tasks.
• Use the extended 8 1/2-inch profile when additional reach is useful within the surgical field.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the elevator promptly after use according to facility protocols and the applicable manufacturer instructions for use.
• Inspect both blade ends, the slightly curved profiles, and the round handle for residue, damage, or deformation before and after use.
• Handle the working edges carefully during cleaning, transport, and setup to help prevent contact damage.
• Store the instrument in a manner that protects both blade ends from impact and contamination.

General use; follow facility protocols.
