Kahre-Williger Periosteal Elevator 16cm / 6¼" – Solid

The Kahre-Williger Periosteal Elevator 16cm / 6¼" is a precision orthopedic surgical instrument designed for controlled elevation, separation, and reflection of the periosteum from underlying bone. Also referred to as a Kahre-Williger Periosteal Raspatory, this instrument features a curved rounded working tip, solid shank, and ribbed grip handle for precise manipulation during orthopedic, trauma, and bone-related surgical procedures.

Its compact 16cm / 6¼ inch overall length provides a balanced combination of reach and control, while the curved working end allows the surgeon to approach the bone surface at a controlled angle. The solid one-piece style provides rigidity during periosteal elevation and tissue separation.

Manufactured from German-grade stainless steel, this reusable surgical elevator is designed for professional clinical environments. Explore additional precision surgical instrumentation from Stellmacher Instruments.

Curved Rounded Elevator Tip

The curved rounded working end is shaped to follow the contour of the bone during periosteal elevation. Its curved profile provides an angled approach to the working area, while the rounded tip supports controlled manipulation of tissue along the bone surface.

This working-end geometry makes the Kahre-Williger pattern suitable for procedures where accurate separation and reflection of periosteal tissue are required without using a broad or excessively bulky elevator.

Solid Shank for Controlled Access

The instrument features a solid, durable shank designed to provide rigidity between the working tip and handle. This construction helps transmit controlled manual force directly to the working end while maintaining predictable instrument positioning.

The 16cm overall length offers useful maneuverability in surgical areas where a shorter, well-balanced periosteal elevator is preferred.

Ribbed Grip Handle

The integral ribbed handle provides multiple raised gripping surfaces for secure instrument control. The textured profile helps minimize unwanted movement in the hand and provides tactile feedback during controlled elevation and tissue-separation movements.

Its solid handle construction also contributes to the instrument's balanced feel and direct response at the working tip.

Applications & Surgical Uses

The Kahre-Williger Periosteal Elevator is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals during procedures requiring controlled elevation or reflection of periosteal tissue from bone.

• Periosteal elevation and reflection
• Separation of periosteum from underlying bone
• Controlled soft-tissue dissection adjacent to bone
• Exposure of bone surfaces during surgery
• Orthopedic surgical procedures
• Trauma surgery
• Bone and reconstructive procedures
• Preparation of bone surfaces for subsequent surgical steps
• General procedures requiring controlled tissue-to-bone separation

Periosteal Elevator vs. Bone Curette

A periosteal elevator is primarily designed to lift, separate, and reflect periosteal tissue from the surface of bone. In comparison, a bone curette typically uses a scoop- or loop-style working end for scraping and removing tissue or material from a surgical site.

The Kahre-Williger pattern is therefore particularly suited to controlled tissue elevation and bone exposure rather than curettage or aggressive bone removal.

Designed for Orthopedic Surgical Control

The combination of a curved rounded tip, rigid solid shank, compact 16cm length, and ribbed handle provides the operator with direct tactile control throughout the elevation process. These characteristics make the instrument suitable for orthopedic instrument sets where controlled periosteal separation and bone exposure are required.

Cleaning, Sterilization & Instrument Care

This reusable surgical instrument should be thoroughly cleaned, inspected, and sterilized according to the healthcare facility's validated instrument-reprocessing protocol before clinical use.

During cleaning, particular attention should be given to the curved working end, transition between the shank and handle, and ribbed gripping surfaces to ensure that visible biological material and debris are completely removed.

Before each use, inspect the working tip for deformation, edge damage, corrosion, or excessive wear. The shaft and handle should also be checked for structural damage. Instruments that no longer perform as intended should be removed from clinical service.
