Clinical Application
Designed for controlled elevation and reflection of periosteum and adherent soft tissue from bone surfaces, this instrument is used whenever precise, atraumatic exposure of bone is required. Common applications include small- and medium-sized orthopedic procedures, oral and maxillofacial surgery, ENT, plastic/reconstructive cases, wound debridement, and other procedures that require careful soft-tissue dissection in confined spaces.
Design & Configuration
The Adson periosteal geometry provides a narrow, defined working tip that permits targeted lifting of periosteum with tactile feedback for delicate control. The 17 cm overall length offers sufficient reach for deeper operative fields while remaining maneuverable in close quarters. The slender profile of the working end helps reduce unnecessary tissue trauma during elevation and allows precise placement along bony contours.
