Schneider Periosteal Raspatories

Description

Schneider Periosteal Raspatories

The Schneider raspatory is an 18 cm instrument with a 13 mm blade. It strips periosteum from bone surfaces ahead of fixation, osteotomy or grafting.

Practical width

A 13 mm blade suits many medium bones. Therefore it clears the forearm, the clavicle and the ribs efficiently. It also works well around fracture edges.

Balanced length

At 18 cm, the raspatory balances well between the fingers. Consequently, firm pressure is possible without losing the feel of bone. Also, that balance helps in detailed work.

Who uses the Schneider raspatory

Orthopedic and trauma surgeons use it on medium bones. Also, thoracic surgeons use it on ribs. Additionally, it pairs well with the Schneider-Sauerbruch version.

Technique

Begin at a cut in the periosteum. Then slide the blade under it and push along the bone. Lift the freed layer aside with care.

A flexible all-rounder

The 13 mm width handles both narrow and moderate surfaces. Therefore one Schneider raspatory can cover many tasks. Consequently, it is a sensible choice for a compact tray.

Why we check each raspatory

If every raspatory shows a build problem, the buyer has three years against manufacturing defects. Ahead of dispatch, someone in Atlanta inspects the Schneider pattern under good light. You might pair it with our Schneider-Sauerbruch version. A backup raspatory on the shelf helps on busy days. For answers on returns, check our FAQs.
