Clinical Application
This instrument is designed for controlled subperiosteal dissection and elevation of periosteum and periosteal soft tissue from bone. Its Lambotte-style blade is suited to expose cortical bone for fracture reduction, plate-and-screw fixation, bone grafting, tooth extraction access, and other procedures requiring precise, blunt separation of soft tissue from bone in confined spaces.
Design & Configuration
The broad, flat paddle geometry of the Lambotte pattern provides a stable surface for lifting periosteum with minimal tearing, while the slightly beveled edge facilitates initial insertion beneath the tissue. The 15 mm blade width offers a balance between atraumatic tissue elevation and access in tighter surgical fields; a 21 cm overall length provides reach for deeper pockets without excessive shaft bulk, improving tactile feedback and control during dissection.
