Alexander-Farabeuf costal periosteotome 8 1/4" curved blade flat handle

Controlled Periosteal Elevation with Practical Reach

The Alexander-Farabeuf costal periosteotome is designed for elevating periosteum in costal applications, combining an 8 1/4-inch length with a curved blade and flat handle. Its elongated profile supports access where additional reach is useful, while the curved blade is shaped for controlled engagement during elevation. The flat handle provides a straightforward gripping surface for instrument positioning and manipulation. As a dedicated periosteotome, it helps maintain a focused workflow when separating periosteal tissue from the underlying surface. Its familiar form supports deliberate handling during preparation, elevation, and related surgical tasks requiring a purpose-built instrument.

Use Cases

• Elevating periosteum in costal applications with a purpose-built periosteotome.
• Using the curved blade to engage tissue surfaces during controlled periosteal elevation.
• Applying the instrument's 8 1/4-inch reach when access beyond the immediate working area is useful.
• Positioning and manipulating the instrument through its flat handle during focused surgical tasks.

Specifications
