Description

Schneider-Sauerbruch Periosteal Raspatories

The Schneider-Sauerbruch raspatory is an 18 cm stripping instrument with a 13 mm blade. It frees periosteum from ribs and long bones with strong, steady strokes.

Two names, one design

Ferdinand Sauerbruch was a pioneer of chest surgery, and many rib instruments carry the name. Besides, this raspatory pairs that legacy with the Schneider pattern. As a result, it suits firm periosteum on ribs.

Blade and length

The 13 mm blade covers a useful width. Meanwhile, the 18 cm length keeps the tool easy to control. So it fits both thoracic and orthopedic trays.

Where the Schneider-Sauerbruch raspatory helps

Thoracic surgeons use it to strip ribs before resection. Also, orthopedic surgeons use it on the clavicle and forearm. It suits any firm periosteum.

Technique

Once the periosteum is open, set the blade beneath it. Then advance with the edge pressed down. Work in short, controlled strokes.

Rib resection steps

First, the surgeon strips the outer surface of the rib. Next, the inner surface comes free with a curved instrument. Finally, the rib is ready for cutting.
