Controlled Periosteal Elevation with a Secure Octagonal Handle

The Seldin periosteal elevator, #22 octagonal handle, is designed for elevating and reflecting periosteal tissue during surgical exposure. Its octagonal handle provides a defined gripping surface that can support controlled instrument handling and repositioning during detailed work. As an elevator, it can be incorporated into ENT, general surgery, and maxillofacial surgery workflows where practical access and careful tissue management are required. The Seldin pattern offers a familiar format for clinicians seeking a focused instrument for periosteal elevation, while its stated overall length supports use where measured reach and maneuverability are important within the operative field.
