Elevators-Periosteal
Periosteal elevators strip the periosteum and attached muscle from bone, exposing the bone surface for osteotomy, fixation or fusion. Their edge is sharp enough to get under the periosteum but blunt enough not to gouge bone. Blade width and handle length are chosen by the size of bone and depth of the wound.
