Tessier Periosteal Elevator – 7″ (18cm), 6–11mm Tips

Elevator 7″ (18cm) with Multiple Tip SizesThe Tessier Periosteal Elevator is a specialized instrument used to elevate periosteum and soft tissue from underlying bone in craniofacial, maxillofacial, and plastic surgery procedures. With a total length of 7″ (18cm), it offers excellent reach and control along the facial skeleton while allowing the surgeon to maintain a comfortable hand position outside the immediate operative field. The instrument is available with tip sizes of 6mm, 7mm, 9mm, and 11mm, giving surgeons the flexibility to choose finer tips for delicate areas and broader tips for larger surfaces. Manufactured by Adas Instruments from high-quality stainless steel, this elevator is designed for durability, smooth handling,g and compatibility with standard hospital sterilization protocols.Why Surgeons Choose Our Tessier Periosteal ElevatorSurgeons choose the Tessier Periosteal Elevator for its balance of precision, strength, and ergonomic design in periosteal elevation. The blade is shaped to slide beneath the periosteum and soft tissues while providing predictable tactile feedback, helping surgeons maintain the correct dissection plane along bone surfaces. Multiple tip widths, from 6mm to 11mm, allow the same basic instrument design to be used for narrow orbital or nasal areas as well as broader frontal, zygomatic,c or mandibular regions. Combined with a stable, easy-to-grip handle, this design supports efficient, controlled dissection and helps minimize trauma to adjacent tissues.Surgical ApplicationsElevation of periosteum in craniofacial surgery, including frontal, orbital, zygomatic, and maxillary regions.Maxillofacial procedures require controlled soft tissue and periosteal elevation from bone surfaces.Plastic and reconstructive facial surgery, where precise subperiosteal dissection is needed.Preparation of bony surfaces for plating, grafting,g or contouring in trauma and orthognathic surgery.General periosteal elevation in head and neck procedure,s where a 7″ periosteal elevator is preferred.People also askQ: What is a Tessier Periosteal Elevator used for? A: A Tessier Periosteal Elevator is used to elevate periosteum and soft tissue from underlying bone in craniofacial, maxillofacial and plastic surgery, helping create a clean subperiosteal plane for exposure, contouring and fixation.Q: Why are different tip sizes (6mm, 7mm, 9mm and 11mm) important on a Tessier periosteal elevator? A: Different tip sizes allow surgeons to match the elevator width to the anatomy being dissected, using narrower tips for precise work in confined spaces and wider tips for efficient elevation over larger bony surfaces.Q: Is the Tessier Periosteal Elevator curved or straight? A: Tessier periosteal elevators are commonly manufactured with a slightly curved blade to follow facial contours and improve access, while still providing stable support from a flat or ergonomically shaped handle.Q: Is the Tessier Periosteal Elevator reusable? A: Yes, the Tessier Periosteal Elevator from Adas Instruments is manufactured from high-quality stainless steel as a reusable instrument and is compatible with standard hospital cleaning, disinfection and autoclave sterilization cycles when properly maintained.Technical SpecificationsInstrument TypeTessier Periosteal Elevator, craniofacial periosteal elevator, maxillofacial periosteal elevatorApplicationElevation of periosteum and soft tissue from bone in craniofacial, maxillofacial, and plastic surgeryTotal Length7″ (18cm) overall lengthTip Sizes Available6mm, 7mm, 9mm, and 11mm tip width optionsBlade ConfigurationTypically slightly curved blade is designed to follow facial bone contoursHandle DesignFlat or ergonomic handle for secure grip and precise control during elevationMaterialHigh-quality stainless steel, reusable, and autoclavableSterilizationCompatible with standard hospital cleaning, disinfection, and autoclave sterilization cyclesFinish OptionsSatin or dull-polished stainless steel finish for low-glare visibility and easy cleaningWarrantyManufacturer’s warranty from Adas Instruments against defects in materials and workmanshipQuality StandardsProduced under strict quality control procedures for craniofacial and maxillofacial surgery instrumentsRust PreventionCorrosion-resistant stainless steel construction with proper maintenanceUltrasonic CleanedSuitable for ultrasonic cleaning according to hospital protocolsMarkingLaser-marked with Adas Instruments branding and size identification where applicablePackagingIndividually packed in protective packaging suitable for storage and transportSterilitySupplied non-sterile; must be cleaned and sterilized before first useSurgeons using the Tessier Periosteal Elevator often also work with other facial and craniofacial instruments available from Adas Instruments, and you can see related products in our plastic surgery and maxillofacial instrument categories.
