Crego Periosteal Elevator – Blunt Curved Surgical Elevator

The Crego Periosteal Elevator is a professional orthopedic surgical instrument designed for controlled periosteal elevation, soft-tissue reflection, and exposure of underlying bone surfaces. Its blunt curved working end provides controlled contact with tissue, while the long shank and contoured handle support precise manipulation during surgical procedures.

Manufactured from durable stainless steel, this reusable periosteal elevator is available in full-curve and slight-curve configurations with different working-end widths. The ergonomic grooved handle provides a substantial gripping surface for controlled instrument handling during orthopedic and related surgical procedures.

Designed for Controlled Periosteal Elevation

The Crego Periosteal Elevator is designed to assist trained surgical professionals in controlled separation and reflection of periosteal tissue from underlying bone surfaces. Its curved working profile helps the instrument follow anatomical contours while providing access for tissue elevation and surgical exposure.

The blunt working end is designed for controlled tissue manipulation rather than cutting. The long shank provides reach, while the broad grooved handle gives the operator a stable surface for controlled hand positioning and force transmission.

Full Curve – 7 mm Working End

SM11-0414-19 features a blunt full-curve 7 mm working end with an overall length of 19.5 cm / 7¾". The narrower tip and pronounced curved profile make this configuration suitable where focused access and controlled elevation around curved bone surfaces are required.

Slight Curve – 15 mm Working End

SM11-0412-19 features a blunt slight-curve 15 mm working end with an overall length of 19 cm / 7½". Its broader blade provides a larger contact surface for controlled periosteal reflection and exposure over compatible anatomical areas.

Ergonomic Grooved Handle

The substantial handle features longitudinal grooves that create a defined gripping surface for professional surgical handling. Its contoured profile supports stable positioning of the instrument while allowing the operator to control the orientation and movement of the curved working end.

Typical Applications

• Periosteal elevation
• Periosteal tissue reflection
• Controlled soft-tissue separation adjacent to bone
• Exposure of underlying bone surfaces
• Orthopedic surgical procedures
• Trauma and reconstructive procedures
• Procedures requiring controlled access around bone

Cleaning, Inspection & Sterilization

The instrument should be inspected before each use for visible damage, deformation, corrosion, excessive wear, or changes to the working end. Particular attention should be given to the curved tip, shank, transition areas, and grooved handle during cleaning and inspection.

Cleaning, disinfection, sterilization, drying, storage, and instrument handling should be performed according to the healthcare facility's validated reprocessing procedures and the applicable instructions for use.
