Periosteals Elevator molt 17,0cm with handle no. 3

Periosteal elevators are long, thin instruments that are used to lift or separate the periosteum (the thin layer of tissue that covers the bone) from the underlying bone. They come in a variety of sizes and shapes, and are made from a variety of materials, including stainless steel, titanium, and plastics.

Periosteal elevators are used in many different surgical procedures, including orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat surgery), and plastic surgery. They are also used in non-surgical procedures, such as dental implants.

Periosteal elevators can be sharp or blunt. Sharp periosteal elevators are used to make incisions in the periosteum or to score the bone underneath. Blunt periosteal elevators are used to gently separate the periosteum from the bone or to smooth out uneven surfaces.

The size and shape of a periosteal elevator depends on its intended use. For example, small elevators may be used for delicate procedures in the inner ear, while larger ones may be used for lifting heavy bones during hip replacement surgery.

There are many different brands and types of periosteal elevators on the market. Some common brands include Molteno Periotomes (Molt 17 cm), Stryker Periotomes (P9), Adeor Elevat
