Key Periosteal Elevator (Rugine) 12mm, 19cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled elevation of the periosteum and mucoperiosteal tissues, this Key (Rugine) periosteal elevator facilitates subperiosteal dissection and flap reflection to expose bone during procedures in ENT, oral and maxillofacial surgery, plastic surgery, dental surgery, and select orthopedic interventions. The 12 mm working edge provides a balance between precise tissue separation in confined spaces and effective leverage for reflecting soft tissue off cortical surfaces.

Design & Configuration

The Rugine (Key) pattern features a working blade profile optimized to engage and lift periosteum with controlled tactile feedback. The 12 mm blade width permits atraumatic, incremental elevation in narrow operative fields, while the 19 cm overall length gives sufficient reach for deeper dissections without sacrificing handle control. The blade geometry and handle length together support fine manipulation and leverage during subperiosteal release and flap elevation.
