Martin Cushing Periosteal Raspatory 8mm 17cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled subperiosteal dissection, this raspatory is used to elevate periosteum and soft tissue from bone surfaces to expose bony anatomy, develop subperiosteal planes, and prepare bone for fixation or reconstruction. Common uses include neurosurgical craniotomies, craniofacial and oral/maxillofacial procedures, sinus and orbital work in ENT, and localized orthopedic procedures where precise periosteal elevation is required. The narrow 8 mm blade is well suited to confined operative fields and fine dissection near delicate structures.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's raspatory blade geometry provides a controlled edge for peeling and mobilizing periosteum with clear tactile feedback, allowing the surgeon to separate soft tissue from bone without excessive trauma. A 17 cm overall length gives adequate reach for deeper operative sites while maintaining ergonomics for manual control. The handheld configuration supports single-handed elevation and fine directional adjustments during subperiosteal dissection.
