Description

The Pennybacker Periosteal Elevator is designed for lifting periosteum and separating soft tissue during spinal and orthopedic procedures. Its curved sharp tip provides a more focused working end for controlled tissue separation and elevation, particularly when working around the bone.

The instrument is available in 4 mm, 6 mm, and 8 mm widths.  These variations give surgical teams a few options depending on the area being treated and the amount of tissue that needs to be elevated. The smaller widths are useful for more focused work, while the wider options provide a broader working surface.

At 16 cm (6¼”) long, the instrument has a compact size that is easy to position and control during delicate procedures. The length also gives the user enough reach without making the elevator difficult to maneuver in a smaller surgical field.

The curved tip gives the instrument a slightly different working angle from a straight periosteal elevator. This can be useful when the tissue needs to be separated from the bone from a particular direction, while the different widths allow the instrument to be selected according to the procedure.

It is made from surgical-grade stainless steel and goes through quality control inspection before it is supplied. The instrument is checked for its overall finish and condition, while the curved tip and handle are inspected to make sure they are properly finished and secure. These checks help ensure that the instrument is in good working condition before use. The stainless-steel construction also makes it suitable for regular cleaning and maintenance as a reusable surgical instrument.

With its curved sharp tip, 4 mm to 8 mm width options, and 16 cm length, the Pennybacker Periosteal Elevator provides a practical option for controlled periosteal elevation and soft tissue separation. Its compact size and choice of working widths make it suitable for a range of spinal and orthopedic procedures.
