Semb Costal periosteal 21cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is designed for controlled subperiosteal elevation along the ribs and costal cartilage. It is used during rib graft harvest, chest wall exposure, thoracic and reconstructive procedures where careful separation of periosteum from bone or cartilage is required. The working geometry supports atraumatic peeling of soft tissue off the cortical surface to minimize bone splintering and reduce the risk of pleural violation when used with appropriate technique.

Design & Configuration

A 21 cm working length provides reach into the thoracic field and access to costal margins through small or moderate incisions. The slim, hand-held elevator geometry permits precise subperiosteal dissection along curved rib surfaces while maintaining tactile feedback. The shaft length and slim profile facilitate working in confined intercostal spaces and help the operator maintain control while elevating periosteum from bone or cartilage.
