Adson Periosteal Elevator 17cm

Clinical Application

Used to separate and elevate periosteum and soft tissue from underlying bone, this instrument facilitates exposure of bony surfaces for procedures such as tooth extractions, implant site preparation, periodontal surgery, craniofacial work, soft-tissue flap elevation, and selected orthopedic procedures. The 17 cm length provides additional reach for deeper surgical sites while remaining manageable in confined oral and head-and-neck fields.

Design & Configuration

The Adson pattern provides a slim working profile that allows precise placement between soft tissue and bone. Shaft length and balance are selected to give tactile feedback and controlled leverage during both blunt and careful sharp periosteal elevation. The hand-held design supports one-handed manipulation while the opposite hand can retract or stabilize tissue, enabling predictable flap elevation and minimal trauma to surrounding structures.
