Skin Elevators

  • Article Number: SSI-6801

  • Tissue Reflection: It allows the surgeon to "lift" the soft tissue and gum flaps away from the bone without tearing them.
  • Blunt vs. Sharp: Most periosteal elevators have a semi-blunt edge to prevent accidental bone gouging while still being sharp enough to "cut" through the attachment fibers of the periosteum.
  • Dentistry: Used for reflecting mucoperiosteal flaps during oral surgery.
