12S Bennett Periosteal

The 12S Bennett Periosteal is a specialized orthopedic surgical instrument designed for controlled elevation, separation, and manipulation of the periosteum and associated soft tissues. As part of professional orthopedic instrument systems, this periosteal elevator supports surgeons during procedures where careful soft-tissue handling and adequate exposure of the underlying bone are required. A periosteal elevator is commonly used to separate the periosteum from the surface of bone while minimizing unnecessary disruption to surrounding tissues. The 12S Bennett Periosteal provides a purpose-designed working end that allows the surgeon to apply controlled pressure and perform precise tissue elevation according to the surgical technique. Its configuration is particularly useful when controlled exposure of a bony surface is required during orthopedic procedures. The Bennett-style design provides a practical balance between working-surface control and instrument handling. The working end is intended to provide adequate contact with the tissue plane, allowing the surgeon to advance the instrument in a controlled manner. This can support procedures involving bone exposure, periosteal elevation, tissue retraction, and preparation of the surgical field. The 12S designation identifies the specific instrument pattern and configuration. Because surgical instrument patterns can vary between manufacturers, the exact dimensions and working-end geometry should be verified against the manufacturer’s product specifications before ordering when precise measurements are required. The instrument is manufactured for professional healthcare environments using surgical-grade materials selected for durability, strength, and resistance to routine surgical handling. A well-maintained periosteal elevator should provide consistent handling throughout its service life when properly used and processed. The working surface should be inspected regularly for deformation, surface damage, corrosion, or other defects that could affect performance. The 12S Bennett Periosteal may be incorporated into orthopedic, trauma, reconstructive, and other surgical procedures where controlled periosteal or soft-tissue elevation is required. The instrument can assist with surgical exposure around bone, helping provide access to the operative field while allowing the surgeon to maintain control of the tissue plane. Ergonomic instrument handling is an important consideration during procedures involving repetitive tissue elevation. The Bennett periosteal design is intended to provide stable handling and controlled movement, allowing the surgeon to manipulate the instrument according to the operative approach. Its specialized working profile can support both precision and practical usability during demanding surgical procedures. For reusable versions, proper cleaning and sterilization are essential for maintaining instrument quality and patient safety. Following use, the 12S Bennett Periosteal should be cleaned and decontaminated according to validated procedures. Particular attention should be given to the working end and any areas where biological material may accumulate. The instrument should be inspected before sterilization and processed according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s approved sterilization protocol. The 12S Bennett Periosteal is a practical addition to professional orthopedic surgical instrument sets, providing controlled periosteal elevation and tissue manipulation. Its specialized Bennett pattern, durable construction, and precision-oriented design make it suitable for surgical environments where reliable soft-tissue handling and bone exposure are essential.
