Adson Periosteal Elevator #4 – 6 3/4″, Straight, Semi-Sharp, 5/16″ Blade

The Adson Periosteal Elevator #4 – 6 3/4″ is a precision surgical instrument designed for controlled periosteal elevation, soft tissue reflection, and careful dissection of gingival tissues from bone surfaces. It is commonly used in oral, periodontal, and maxillofacial surgical procedures where stability, accuracy, and efficient tissue handling are required. This instrument features a straight semi-sharp working blade measuring 5/16″ , providing a balanced combination of cutting efficiency and controlled elevation. The straight design allows surgeons to work with direct access and predictable force application, making it ideal for standard periosteal reflection procedures. The semi-sharp edge ensures effective tissue separation while minimizing the risk of excessive trauma. It provides smooth initiation of periosteal lifting, allowing controlled dissection in both routine and moderately dense tissue areas. With an overall length of 6 3/4 inches , the instrument offers excellent maneuverability and control in intraoral surgical fields. Its compact design ensures precise handling in both anterior and posterior regions of the oral cavity. The Adson-style ergonomic handle provides a secure and comfortable grip, enhancing tactile feedback and reducing hand fatigue during extended surgical procedures. Its balanced construction supports accurate and steady force application. Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the instrument delivers 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 visibility during surgery. This helps achieve clean and controlled periosteal reflection with minimal tissue trauma. Overall, the Adson Periosteal Elevator #4 – 6 3/4″, Straight, Semi-Sharp, 5/16″ Blade is a reliable and efficient instrument for dental and oral surgeons requiring precision, control, and durability in periosteal elevation procedures.
