Obwegeser Needle – Surgical Periosteal Elevator – 11-927-14

14 cm, 5%
The Obwegeser Needle is a slender, needle-pointed periosteal elevator measuring 14 cm, built for precise subperiosteal work in maxillofacial procedures. Its narrow profile allows the surgeon to create controlled tunnels beneath the periosteum without disturbing surrounding soft tissue.
Fine, needle-like tip suited to tunneling along the mandible or maxilla
Compact 14 cm length for close, controlled handling near the surgical field
Slim shaft designed to pass through tight subperiosteal planes with minimal tissue disruption
Commonly used during orthognathic procedures where guided wire or plate placement is needed
This instrument belongs to a broader family of bone surgery instruments built around precision rather than bulk, which is exactly what subperiosteal tunneling calls for. Surgeons working in orthognathic and reconstructive maxillofacial cases often keep this pattern close at hand for the moments when a broader elevator would be too much instrument for the space available.
Because of its narrow geometry, the Obwegeser Needle pairs well with wire-passage and fixation steps that follow initial exposure, giving the surgeon a dedicated tool rather than repurposing a general elevator. Add this instrument to your maxillofacial set today.
