Aufricht Soft Tissue Elevator

Aufricht Soft Tissue Elevator is a specialized otolaryngology and facial plastic surgery instrument used for the controlled elevation and separation of soft tissue layers from underlying cartilage, bone, and supporting structures. Designed for delicate tissue management, the instrument features a double-ended configuration with finely contoured working ends that facilitate precise dissection and atraumatic flap elevation within the confined anatomy of the nasal cavity and facial region. The smooth, rounded tips enable efficient elevation of mucoperichondrial, mucoperiosteal, and soft tissue flaps while helping preserve tissue integrity and minimizing the risk of perforation or unnecessary trauma. Its slender profile provides excellent access and visibility during rhinoplasty, septoplasty, septorhinoplasty, and reconstructive procedures. The ergonomic central handle offers a secure grip and superior tactile feedback, allowing clinicians to maintain precise control during delicate surgical maneuvers. Available in multiple tip widths and configurations, Aufricht Soft Tissue Elevators can be selected according to surgical technique, patient anatomy, and surgeon preference. Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the instrument delivers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and dependable long-term performance. The satin or matte low-glare finish minimizes reflections under surgical lighting and facilitates efficient cleaning and maintenance. Widely used in hospitals, ENT departments, facial plastic surgery centers, and ambulatory surgical facilities, the Aufricht Soft Tissue Elevator is an essential component of rhinoplasty and nasal reconstruction instrument sets. Fully reusable and autoclavable, the instrument is designed to withstand repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles while maintaining dimensional accuracy, tip integrity, and structural performance. Common Clinical Applications Include: Rhinoplasty Septoplasty Septorhinoplasty Nasal Reconstruction Mucoperichondrial Flap Elevation Mucoperiosteal Flap Elevation Soft Tissue Dissection Facial Plastic Surgery Functional Nasal Surgery ENT Procedures Specifications Feature Details Product Name Aufricht Soft Tissue Elevator Instrument Type Soft Tissue Elevator Function Elevation and Dissection of Soft Tissue Flaps Design Double-Ended Working Ends Contoured Atraumatic Tips Handle Design Ergonomic Central Handle Material Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel Finish Satin or Matte Low-Glare Finish Available Configurations Multiple Tip Widths and Profiles Available Sterilization Fully Sterilizable and Autoclavable Reusability Reusable Application Rhinoplasty, Septoplasty, ENT, and Facial Reconstructive Surgery Frequently Asked Questions What is an Aufricht Soft Tissue Elevator used for?
