149 Periosteal

The 149 Periosteal is a precision surgical instrument designed for controlled periosteal elevation, tissue separation, and bone exposure during professional surgical procedures. Commonly used as a periosteal elevator, this instrument supports the careful separation of periosteal tissue from the underlying bone, helping create appropriate surgical exposure while allowing the surgeon to maintain controlled instrument positioning. Periosteal elevators are essential components of many orthopedic, dental, periodontal, implant, oral, and maxillofacial surgical instrument sets . The No. 149 pattern provides a defined working configuration intended for controlled tissue manipulation. Its working end is designed to engage periosteal tissue and facilitate elevation along the bone surface according to the surgeon’s established technique. The 149 Periosteal can be selected for procedures where controlled access to a bony surface is required. Depending on the clinical application, periosteal elevation may be performed during procedures involving bone exposure, surgical access, periodontal treatment, implant-related surgery, oral surgery, or selected orthopedic techniques. The precise application should always be determined by a qualified healthcare professional based on patient anatomy and procedural requirements. Its working profile is designed to provide controlled contact with tissue and bone. This allows the surgeon to manipulate the periosteum with deliberate movements rather than relying on excessive force. Proper technique, appropriate instrument selection, and careful handling are essential for minimizing unnecessary tissue trauma and achieving the desired surgical exposure. The 149 periosteal elevator is intended for professional medical environments and is constructed using surgical-grade materials designed to provide strength, durability, and reliable clinical performance. A properly maintained periosteal instrument should retain its intended working geometry through appropriate use and reprocessing. Before every procedure, the instrument should be inspected for bending, deformation, corrosion, surface damage, or other defects that could affect its performance. Instrument control is particularly important during periosteal elevation. The handle and working end should allow the surgeon to maintain a stable grip while applying controlled pressure along the intended tissue plane. Appropriate handling can support precise tissue manipulation and predictable surgical exposure. For reusable versions, proper cleaning and sterilization are essential. Following use, the 149 Periosteal should be cleaned and decontaminated according to validated procedures. The working surface should be carefully examined to ensure that no biological residue remains. Any areas, grooves, or transitions in the instrument should receive appropriate attention during cleaning. Before sterilization, the instrument should be inspected for structural integrity, working-end condition, and cleanliness. Reusable versions should be sterilized according to validated manufacturer instructions and the healthcare facility’s approved sterilization protocol. Proper storage helps protect the instrument from mechanical damage, corrosion, and contamination between procedures. Regular inspection and appropriate maintenance can help preserve the working profile and extend the instrument’s useful service life. Instruments exhibiting significant deformation, corrosion, damaged working surfaces, or other structural concerns should be evaluated before being returned to clinical use. The 149 Periosteal combines a specialized periosteal working profile with durable surgical construction and controlled handling characteristics. It is a practical addition to professional surgical instrument sets requiring reliable periosteal elevation, tissue separation, and controlled exposure of underlying bone.
