Sellheim Elevating Spoon 28cm

Clinical Application

This Sellheim elevating spoon is designed to facilitate controlled elevation of soft tissues and periosteum from underlying bone during procedures where blunt, broad-tipped dissection is required. Its spoon-shaped blade is used to create and expand surgical planes, mobilize soft-tissue flaps, and provide gentle retraction while protecting exposed bone and adjacent neurovascular structures. Typical applications include otolaryngology, maxillofacial, plastic/reconstructive, and general surgical procedures that require atraumatic subperiosteal elevation or tissue layer separation.

Design & Configuration

The concave spoon blade distributes elevating force over a broad surface to reduce focal pressure and minimize tissue trauma. A long 28 cm shaft provides extended reach into deeper cavities or below retracted tissues while maintaining tactile feedback to the surgeon. The rounded, atraumatic edges and smooth transitions between blade and shaft facilitate controlled dissection and reduce the risk of tearing delicate layers during mobilization.
