Langenbeck Periosteal Elevator 8mm, 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled elevation of the periosteum and soft-tissue reflection, this elevator is suitable for general surgery, orthopedics, oral and maxillofacial, ENT and select plastic surgery procedures. The narrow 8 mm blade allows precise undermining of periosteum and mucoperiosteal flaps in confined anatomic sites, while the 20 cm length provides reach for deeper exposures without excessive hand intrusion. Typical uses include creating and developing surgical flaps, exposing bone surfaces, blunt dissection adjacent to bone, and preparing bone beds for fixation or grafting.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s straight shaft geometry delivers direct control and leverage during elevation maneuvers. A slim, spatula-like blade provides a balance between a thin leading edge for atraumatic blunt dissection and a broad face to support and reflect tissue. The 8 mm blade width is selected for precision work in narrow fields where larger periosteal elevators would risk excessive tissue disruption.

Instrument Specifications
