11-1083-17 | Periosteal Elevator
The 11-1083-17 Periosteal Elevator is built around a simple but important requirement in
orthopedic surgery: separating and lifting the periosteum from bone with a working end suited to
the specific operative area. This model measures 17.5 cm (7 inches) and is available in four
configurations, including Metacarpal Small, Metacarpal Medium, Light Curve Rounded End, and
Contra Angled Curve. Working widths are listed as 10 mm, 4.5 mm, 5 mm, and 6 mm
respectively. It fits naturally within bone surgery instruments used for bone exposure and preparation.
The range of tip styles is the main reason to keep more than one configuration available. A
metacarpal pattern can suit smaller anatomical areas, while curved and contra-angled versions
provide alternative approaches when a straight working direction is inconvenient.
● Metacarpal Small: A narrower profile for focused work around smaller bones.
● Metacarpal Medium: Provides a broader working surface where more coverage is
required.
● Light Curve Rounded End: Offers a curved approach with a rounded working end for
controlled periosteal elevation.
● Contra Angled Curve: Changes the approach angle when direct access is limited.
● 17.5 cm length: Provides a practical balance between reach and hand control during
bone exposure.
These variations make the instrument useful for orthopedic, hand, and reconstructive sets
where periosteal handling is part of the procedure. Choosing the working-end shape before
surgery can reduce the need to substitute an unsuitable elevator during the case. Add the
appropriate configuration to your instrument inventory for routine procedural use when needed.
