Langenbeck periosteal elevator 7 3/4" curved sharp 17.0mm wide blade flat handle

Curved, Sharp Access for Controlled Periosteal Elevation

The Langenbeck periosteal elevator is designed to elevate and mobilize periosteal tissue during surgical exposure, combining a curved profile, sharp tip, and 17.0 mm wide blade with a flat handle. Its 7 3/4" length supports practical reach while the broad blade provides a defined working surface for controlled instrument placement. This configuration can support handling requirements across cardiovascular, ENT, general surgery, neurosurgery, and orthopedic workflows where periosteal elevation or tissue-plane access is part of the procedure. The specialty-neutral design allows teams to select one clearly defined elevator configuration for varied operative tasks without introducing unnecessary complexity.

Use Cases

• Elevating periosteal tissue during orthopedic exposure and bone-related surgical approaches.
• Supporting tissue-plane access and exposure in general surgery procedures requiring a periosteal elevator.
• Providing a curved, sharp working end for access during ENT procedures involving periosteal elevation.
• Assisting controlled periosteal elevation in neurosurgical exposure workflows where the instrument profile is appropriate.
• Supporting cardiovascular surgical exposure tasks when periosteal elevation is required within the operative approach.

Specifications

Care & Handling

• Clean the elevator according to facility protocols and the applicable manufacturer instructions for use.
• Inspect the curved blade, sharp tip, and handle before and after use for visible damage, distortion, or residue.
• Handle the sharp tip carefully during transport, cleaning, and setup to reduce the risk of accidental contact or damage.
• Store the instrument in a manner that protects the blade and prevents contact with other instruments.

General use; follow facility protocols.
