Adson Periosteal Elevator #3 – 6 3/4″, Curved, Semi-Sharp, 1/4″ Blade

The Adson Periosteal Elevator #3 – 6 3/4″ is a precision surgical instrument designed for controlled periosteal elevation, soft tissue reflection, and careful separation of gingival tissues from bone surfaces. It is widely used in oral, periodontal, and maxillofacial surgical procedures where accuracy, smooth dissection, and minimal tissue trauma are required. This instrument features a curved semi-sharp working blade measuring 1/4″ , allowing enhanced access to contoured anatomical surfaces. The curved design improves visibility and maneuverability, making it highly effective for working around complex bone structures and confined intraoral regions. The semi-sharp edge provides a balanced combination of cutting efficiency and controlled tissue handling. It allows surgeons to initiate clean periosteal separation while maintaining safety and reducing the risk of excessive tissue damage. With an overall length of 6 3/4 inches , the instrument offers excellent control and maneuverability in intraoral surgical fields. Its compact structure ensures precise handling in both anterior and posterior regions of the oral cavity. The Adson-style ergonomic handle ensures a secure and comfortable grip, enhancing tactile feedback and reducing hand fatigue during extended procedures. The balanced weight distribution allows for steady and controlled force application. Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the instrument provides excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term performance. It is fully autoclavable and designed for repeated sterilization cycles without loss of strength or functionality. The mirror-polished finish reduces friction and prevents tissue adhesion, ensuring smoother dissection and improved surgical visibility. This supports clean and controlled periosteal reflection with minimal trauma to surrounding tissues. Overall, the Adson Periosteal Elevator #3 – 6 3/4″, Curved, Semi-Sharp, 1/4″ Blade is a reliable and efficient instrument for dental and oral surgeons who require precision, control, and versatility in periosteal elevation procedures.
