Konig Elevator 5.5mm 16.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for precise elevation and mobilization of soft tissue from underlying bone, this elevator is used to develop mucoperiosteal and subperiosteal planes, release adhesions, and gently reflect flaps. It is appropriate for otolaryngology, oral and maxillofacial procedures, dental surgical cases and other general surgical applications where controlled, fine dissection and elevation are required. The narrow blade profile allows work in confined spaces and improves tactile feedback during delicate maneuvers.

Design & Configuration

The relatively narrow 5.5 mm blade concentrates applied force to provide focused lifting with minimal collateral trauma. The 16.5 cm overall length gives adequate reach for intraoral and deep-field access while preserving manual control. A straight, rigid shaft transmits tactile feedback to the operator, facilitating controlled subperiosteal dissection and precise flap elevation.
