Freer Periosteal Elevators

Description

Freer Periosteal Elevator

The Freer periosteal elevator is one of the most familiar flap instruments in oral surgery. Its thin, flat blade slips under the periosteum and lifts it cleanly from bone. This listing is the single Freer pattern from our supplier catalogue, so there is no size or tip to choose.

A Thin Blade for the First Lift

Flap reflection begins at the incision line. The Freer blade is slim, so it enters the cut without tearing the margin. Next, short strokes along the bone separate the periosteum in one layer. That keeps the flap thick and healthy for closure.

Beyond the Implant Flap

Because the pattern is general, it travels between specialties. For example, maxillofacial teams use it to expose bone around fractures or plates. Meanwhile, periodontists use it to raise flaps for osseous surgery. In implant work, it frees the crest and the buccal plate before drilling.

How It Complements Wider Elevators

A Freer is slender, while a Molt or broad spoon elevator covers more surface. Therefore, many surgeons start with the Freer and then switch to a wider blade once the flap is moving. Others keep it for delicate zones, such as the mental foramen region, where control matters more than speed.

Atlanta Checks, U.S. Shipping, Lasting Cover

We inspect the edge and finish of every Freer in our Atlanta, United States location before it goes into a box. Your elevator arrives non-sterile, so rinse, clean and sterilize it per your autoclave cycle before surgery. Then, if a defect appears that stems from production, the Freer is protected by a promise of three years against manufacturing defects, excluding wear.

The blade is surgical stainless steel to ASTM F899. Browse Dental Implant Instruments for more flap tools, and pair the Freer with a #3 scalpel handle for the incision. More help sits in our FAQs.

This elevator is supplied for trained dental, oral and maxillofacial professionals. See our sterilization page and delivery policy.
