Obwegeser periosteal elevator 8 1/2" slightly curved 6.0mm wide blade flat handle

Focused access with balanced reach and control

The Obwegeser periosteal elevator is a hand-held surgical elevator used to separate and lift periosteal tissue during tissue-plane preparation. Its 8 1/2-inch length provides useful reach, while the slightly curved, 6.0 mm-wide blade is shaped for focused access around contoured working areas. A flat handle supports a straightforward hand position and instrument orientation during controlled manipulation. The sharp tip and compact blade profile can help practitioners work precisely in ENT, general surgery, and maxillofacial surgery settings, where access and tissue handling may vary. This configuration offers a practical balance of reach, directional control, and localized contact for routine surgical workflows.

Use Cases

• Assist with periosteal elevation when preparing tissue planes in ENT procedures.
• Support controlled tissue-plane work in general surgery using the curved blade profile and extended length.
• Provide focused access for periosteal elevation in maxillofacial surgery settings.
• Use the 6.0 mm-wide blade for localized manipulation where a compact working surface is appropriate.
• Apply the flat handle for direct instrument orientation during elevation and tissue handling tasks.
