Description
Key periosteal elevators are specialized surgical instruments designed for controlled periosteal stripping and bone exposure during orthopedic and neurosurgical procedures . The SAG Surgical Key periosteal elevator is a premium instrument engineered for precise elevation and separation of the periosteum from cortical bone surfaces.
This Key periosteal elevator features a sharp working edge that penetrates the periosteal envelope cleanly, minimizing soft‑tissue trauma and supporting atraumatic bone surface preparation . The straight geometry of this Key periosteal elevator supports direct elevation control, allowing surgeons to strip periosteum efficiently along bone surfaces . The stainless-steel edge on this Key periosteal elevator retains sharpness through multiple procedures and reprocessing cycles .
The Key periosteal elevator is classified as a reusable bone lever/elevator (GMDN Code 35048), designed to lift, position, or pry up bone and other anatomical structures during orthopedic interventions . It is made of high-grade stainless steel and is available in a wide variety of sizes, designs, and blade shapes . The FDA product code for this Key periosteal elevator is GEG (Elevator, Surgical, General & Plastic Surgery) .
Key periosteal elevators are available in various blade widths to accommodate different surgical needs, including narrow 3mm blades for small bone procedures , 12.7mm blades for general use , 19mm blades for moderate bone exposure , and 25mm blades for broad periosteal stripping along long bones . Overall lengths typically range from 6¾ inches to 8¼ inches .
Key periosteal elevators are used across multiple medical specialties including orthopedics, neurosurgery, trauma surgery, and general surgery. This Key periosteal elevator assists surgeons in exposing bone surfaces for fracture fixation, bone grafting, and spinal decompression procedures.
Key periosteal elevators are manufactured to the highest standards using premium stainless steel. This ensures that every Key periosteal elevator instrument maintains its shape and functionality even after repeated sterilization cycles. These Key periosteal elevators are reusable and can be sterilized using moist heat or steam sterilization .
SAG Surgical takes pride in offering premium Key periosteal elevators that meet the demanding requirements of modern orthopedic surgery. Every Key periosteal elevator undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure consistent performance.
