Lambotte Periosteal Raspatory

Description

Lambotte Periosteal Raspatory

The Lambotte periosteal raspatory is a sturdy stripping instrument from the father of fracture fixation. It frees periosteum so a plate or cut can sit directly on bone.

Linked to fracture care

Albin Lambotte coined the term osteosynthesis and designed many fixation tools. This raspatory came from that work. Therefore it suits the exposures that plating and screw fixation demand.

Blade sizes

Blades measure 10, 15, 20 or 25 mm across. Narrow blades clear around fracture edges. Meanwhile, wide blades strip long stretches of shaft quickly.

Where the Lambotte periosteal raspatory fits

Trauma surgeons use it before plating the tibia, femur or humerus. It also helps in osteotomies, where the periosteum must lift before the cut. In short, it is a staple on fracture trays.

Gentle stripping

Strip only as much periosteum as the fixation needs. That protects the blood supply to the bone. So work in small, careful strokes and keep the blade flat.

Narrow versus wide blades

Narrow Lambotte blades work around fracture lines and small fragments. By contrast, the 20 and 25 mm blades strip long stretches quickly. Therefore most fracture sets hold one of each.
