Adson Periosteal Elevator 17cm

Clinical Application

The Adson periosteal elevator is intended for elevation and reflection of periosteum and adherent soft tissue from bone surfaces to expose cortical bone or create a plane for further dissection. It is commonly used in oral and maxillofacial surgery, ENT procedures, implant and periodontal work, select plastic/reconstructive cases and small-field orthopedic procedures where precise periosteal elevation is required. The 17 cm length gives additional reach into deeper or confined surgical sites while maintaining tactile control.

Design & Configuration

The Adson pattern features a narrow, fine-profile blade that concentrates levering force for controlled separation of periosteum from bone with minimal trauma to surrounding tissues. The straight shaft and slim cross-section improve access in tight operative fields and along curved bony contours. A balanced handle geometry provides grip security and tactile feedback necessary for both blunt and sharp elevation techniques.
