Periosteal Elevator
Exposure is often the first stage of a bone procedure, and the instrument used to separate
periosteal tissue can influence how easily the surgeon reaches the underlying bone. NextEdge
Surgical SKU 11-1365-14 Freer Pattern Periosteal Elevator provides two working ends for
controlled elevation around the cortical surface.
The dual-ended configuration is practical when the operative field calls for different approaches
to tissue separation. One end can be selected according to the tissue plane and exposure
requirement, reducing the need to exchange instruments during short, focused stages of the
procedure.
This elevator is useful because:
● Its slim working profile allows access along the surface of bone.
● Different working ends provide flexibility during tissue elevation.
● The smooth metal surface supports controlled movement through the intended tissue
plane.
● The solid handle gives the surgeon direct tactile control during exposure.
In orthopedic and trauma procedures, careful periosteal elevation can help create access for
subsequent fixation or bone preparation. Similar requirements arise in hand and craniofacial
surgery, where the operative field may be relatively small and instrument control is important.
The Freer pattern can therefore be included with other bone surgery instruments as part of an exposure and bone
preparation set. Its reusable stainless steel construction also fits established surgical instrument
processing systems when handled according to validated protocols.
The value of a periosteal elevator lies in controlled tissue handling, not excessive force. SKU
11-1365-14 gives the operator a dedicated instrument for that purpose.
Include this Freer pattern elevator in your orthopedic and trauma instrument inventory.
