Footplate Instrument as Heermann Fig.7, 7cm

Clinical Application

This low-profile footplate is intended for tasks that require a broad, non‑penetrating surface to elevate, support, or gently lever tissues and small bony elements in confined surgical fields. It is well suited to microsurgical applications where precise control and minimal footprint are essential—for example, delicate elevating or undermining maneuvers, protecting underlying structures while mobilizing tissue, and intraoperative assessment or seating of small implants or prosthetic components.

Design & Configuration

The footplate geometry provides a flat, broad contact area that distributes force over a wider surface than a pointed tip, reducing the risk of inadvertent penetration or focal pressure. The compact 7 cm overall length shortens the lever arm to improve tactile feedback and fine motor control in tight operative corridors. The low-profile working face facilitates sliding and controlled elevation along tissue or bone surfaces with minimal obstruction of the surgical view.
