Overholt Periosteal Elevator 28.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled subperiosteal dissection and periosteal reflection, this long-shaft periosteal elevator facilitates elevation of soft tissues from bone in confined or deep surgical fields. It is commonly used in otolaryngology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, dental extraction and implant procedures, trauma cases requiring periosteal elevation, and selected orthopedic procedures where extended reach is needed. The instrument provides precise tissue separation to expose cortical bone for visualization, fixation, grafting, or instrumentation while minimizing tearing of the periosteum.

Design & Configuration

The 28.5 cm overall length provides extended reach into narrow anatomical corridors (for example, deep intraoral, nasal, or submandibular spaces) so the surgeon can work from a safer distance without compromising control. The elongated shaft and periosteal blade geometry deliver a broad, flat working surface to lift and reflect periosteum from bone with controlled leverage and tactile feedback, helping to preserve soft-tissue integrity during elevation.
