Semb Costal Periosteal 20.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled subperiosteal dissection of costal bone and adjacent soft tissues, this periosteal elevator is used to elevate periosteum and soft tissue off the ribs during thoracic surgery, costal cartilage harvest, chest wall reconstruction, and trauma procedures. Its length gives the operator extended reach into the thoracic cavity while permitting precise tissue plane development for fixation, graft preparation, or exposure.

Design & Configuration

The extended 20.5 cm shaft provides sufficient distance to access deeper rib segments without excessive hand intrusion into the operative field. The working tip geometry of a periosteal elevator concentrates leverage for subperiosteal separation while the handle and shaft balance tactile feedback and mechanical advantage, helping surgeons maintain control during delicate elevation adjacent to pleura and neurovascular structures.
