Semb Costal Periosteal 21cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled subperiosteal elevation along the costal margin, this instrument is intended to facilitate separation of periosteum and perichondrium from ribs and costal cartilage during cartilage harvest and thoracic or reconstructive procedures. The geometry and length provide reach and tactile feedback for precise dissection, helping surgeons reduce focal stress on underlying bone or cartilage and minimize the risk of pleural injury when used with appropriate technique.

Design & Configuration

The elongated 21 cm shaft provides extended reach into the thoracic wall while maintaining a familiar balance for one-hand manipulation. The periosteal blade is arranged to permit blunt and sharp subperiosteal elevation as required by the surgeon, with a slim profile that aids visualization in narrow operative fields and allows incremental lift of periosteum or perichondrium without excessive leverage. This configuration supports controlled peeling and reflection during costal cartilage harvest and associated exposures.

Instrument Specifications

• Pattern: Semb costal periosteal elevator
• Length: 21 cm
• Primary function: Subperiosteal elevation of ribs and costal cartilage
• Construction: single-piece stainless steel working shaft and blade
• Reusable design suitable for standard sterilization processes

Material & Construction

Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel to withstand repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles. The single-piece working shaft and blade geometry provide rigidity for controlled dissections while maintaining the tactile sensitivity needed for delicate periosteal elevation. Reusable construction supports long-term clinical use when reprocessed per facility protocol.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.

Brand Comparison

Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
