Clinical Application
Designed for controlled subperiosteal dissection along ribs and costal cartilage, this instrument facilitates elevation of periosteum and perichondrium during costal cartilage harvest, chest-wall exposure, and reconstructive procedures (for example, autologous cartilage harvest for rhinoplasty). The geometry supports precise, atraumatic peeling of soft tissue from osseous and cartilaginous surfaces to minimize damage to the underlying cartilage or bone.
Design & Configuration
The costal periosteal pattern places a refined periosteal blade on a length that provides reach into the intercostal space and along the rib margin. The tapered working end allows the surgeon to gain a controlled plane under the periosteum/perichondrium while the shaft length offers comfortable access to deep or lateral rib segments. This configuration helps preserve cartilage integrity during harvest and enables efficient subperiosteal elevation with measured force.
