Clinical Application
Used to elevate and reflect periosteum and adjacent soft tissue from bone surfaces, the Key/Rugine pattern provides controlled, atraumatic subperiosteal dissection. The 9 mm working tip is sized for confined surgical fields—common in oral and maxillofacial procedures, periodontal and dental implant surgery, ENT applications, and localized orthopedic exposure—where precise tissue release and preservation of periosteal integrity are required.
Design & Configuration
The Rugine (Key) geometry features a broad, rounded blade that distributes levering forces across the periosteum, reducing focal stress and minimizing soft-tissue tearing. A 9 mm tip width balances surface area for efficient elevation with a narrow profile for access in tight anatomical corridors. The 19 cm overall length provides reach into deeper operative sites while maintaining manual control and tactile feedback.
