20 Sicilia Periosteal

The 20 Sicilia Periosteal is a precision periosteal elevator designed for controlled elevation, separation, and reflection of periosteal and soft tissue during professional dental and surgical procedures. Its specialized No. 20 Sicilia pattern provides a dedicated working configuration for clinicians requiring accurate tissue manipulation and controlled access to underlying bone. Periosteal elevators are important components of dental, periodontal, implant, oral, and maxillofacial surgical instrument sets . They are used to carefully separate periosteal tissue from the underlying bone and reflect soft tissue flaps to create appropriate access to the operative site. The 20 Sicilia Periosteal supports these functions through a specialized working profile intended for controlled tissue contact and deliberate elevation. The working end is designed to facilitate controlled movement along the intended anatomical tissue plane. This allows the clinician to elevate periosteal tissue and reflect soft tissue while maintaining appropriate instrument positioning. Careful technique and measured pressure are essential, particularly when working around delicate anatomical structures or within confined surgical fields. The 20 Sicilia pattern can be incorporated into professional instrument sets for procedures involving tissue reflection and surgical bone exposure. Potential applications include dental implant surgery, periodontal procedures, oral surgery, alveolar bone procedures, and selected maxillofacial applications . The specific clinical use should be determined by a qualified dental or surgical professional according to the patient’s anatomy and treatment requirements. The No. 20 designation identifies the instrument pattern. Exact dimensions, working-end geometry, overall length, and handle configuration may vary between manufacturers and instrument series. For procedures requiring specific dimensions or compatibility, the manufacturer’s technical specifications should be verified before ordering. The 20 Sicilia Periosteal is intended for professional clinical environments and is manufactured using surgical-grade construction designed to support strength, durability, corrosion resistance, and dependable handling. Before every procedure, the instrument should be inspected for bending, deformation, corrosion, cracks, damaged surfaces, or excessive wear. Proper handling is essential for preserving the working profile. The periosteal should be used only for its intended function and should not be subjected to excessive leverage or force. Controlled movements help maintain the instrument’s working geometry and support precise tissue manipulation. For reusable versions, thorough cleaning and sterilization are essential after every procedure. Following use, the 20 Sicilia Periosteal should be cleaned and decontaminated using validated instrument-reprocessing procedures. Particular attention should be given to the working end and any surfaces where biological residue may accumulate. 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 inspection and maintenance can help preserve performance and extend service life. Instruments showing significant deformation, corrosion, damaged working surfaces, or other structural concerns should be evaluated before being returned to clinical use. The 20 Sicilia Periosteal combines a specialized working profile, controlled periosteal elevation capability, and durable surgical construction. It is a practical addition to professional dental, periodontal, implant, oral, and maxillofacial instrument sets requiring reliable tissue reflection and precise surgical access.
