Clinical Application
This right-curved Doyen costal periosteal elevator is designed for controlled elevation of periosteum and soft tissue from rib and costal cartilage surfaces. Its pediatric-sized length and curvature make it particularly useful in thoracic procedures on children, including costal cartilage harvest, pediatric thoracotomy, and chest wall reconstruction where delicate, atraumatic dissection along the rib contour is required.
Design & Configuration
The rightward curve of the blade follows the natural convexity of the rib, allowing the surgeon to work along the bone surface with improved visualization and ergonomics. The broad, spatulate profile provides a stable platform for blunt subperiosteal dissection, minimizing focal pressure points and reducing the risk of periosteal tearing. The 17 cm overall length balances reach with precise control in smaller anatomy.
