15 Freer Periosteal

The 15 Freer Periosteal is a precision periosteal elevator designed for controlled elevation, separation, and reflection of periosteal and soft tissue during professional surgical procedures. Its Freer-style configuration provides clinicians with a specialized instrument for establishing surgical access while maintaining controlled contact with the tissue and underlying bone. Periosteal elevators are widely used in dental, periodontal, implant, oral, maxillofacial, and selected surgical procedures where soft tissue must be reflected to expose the underlying bone. The 15 Freer Periosteal is designed to facilitate this process through a specialized working profile that supports deliberate tissue elevation and separation according to the clinician’s established technique. The working end is intended to engage periosteal tissue and facilitate controlled movement along the anatomical tissue plane. This can help the clinician reflect soft tissue and establish an appropriate surgical field. Proper instrument positioning and measured pressure are essential, particularly when operating near delicate anatomical structures. The 15 Freer pattern is suitable for professional instrument sets requiring a versatile periosteal elevator for controlled tissue manipulation. Depending on the clinical indication, it may be used in periodontal procedures, dental implant surgery, oral surgery, maxillofacial procedures, and other appropriate surgical applications requiring periosteal elevation. The exact use should always be determined by a qualified healthcare professional. Exact dimensions, working-end geometry, overall length, and handle configuration may vary according to the manufacturer and instrument series. For applications requiring specific dimensions or compatibility with an existing instrument set, the manufacturer’s technical specifications should be confirmed before purchase. The 15 Freer Periosteal is intended for professional clinical environments and is constructed from surgical-grade materials designed to support strength, durability, and dependable handling. Maintaining the intended working geometry is essential for controlled tissue manipulation. Before every procedure, the instrument should be carefully inspected for bending, deformation, corrosion, cracks, surface damage, or excessive wear. Proper handling also contributes to instrument longevity. The periosteal should be used only for its intended function and should not be subjected to excessive force, inappropriate leverage, or applications that may damage the working end. Controlled movements help maintain the instrument’s functional profile and support appropriate tissue manipulation. For reusable versions, cleaning and sterilization are essential after each procedure. Following use, the 15 Freer Periosteal should be promptly cleaned and decontaminated according to validated procedures. Particular attention should be given to the working surface and any areas where biological material may remain. After cleaning, the instrument should be inspected for cleanliness and structural integrity. Reusable versions should be sterilized according to validated manufacturer instructions and the healthcare facility’s approved sterilization protocol. Appropriate storage after sterilization helps protect the working end from mechanical damage and contamination. Routine maintenance and inspection can help preserve performance and extend service life. Any instrument showing significant deformation, corrosion, damaged working surfaces, or compromised structural integrity should be evaluated before being returned to clinical service. The 15 Freer Periosteal combines a versatile Freer-style working profile, controlled tissue elevation capability, and durable surgical construction. It is a practical addition to professional dental, periodontal, implant, oral, and maxillofacial instrument sets requiring precise periosteal separation and dependable tissue reflection.
