West Periosteal Raspatories

Description

West Periosteal Raspatories

The West periosteal raspatory is an 18 cm stripping instrument. It lifts periosteum and soft tissue from bone ahead of cutting, fixation or grafting.

A balanced length

At 18 cm, it reaches past the skin edge without feeling long. So the surgeon can control the tip closely. That balance suits facial, oral and small-bone work.

How it works

The thin edge slides under the periosteum. Then a pushing or lifting motion frees the layer from bone. Because the edge stays in contact with bone, the tissue lifts intact.

Who uses the West periosteal raspatory

Oral and facial surgeons use it to expose bone. Meanwhile, hand surgeons use it on the metacarpals and phalanges. It also suits foot surgery.

Pairing on the tray

Keep it alongside a broader raspatory for larger surfaces. Then switch between them as the exposure changes. That pairing saves time.

Gentle on soft tissue

Periosteum heals better when it lifts in one piece. So keep the edge on bone rather than cutting into the membrane. As a result, closure over the bone becomes easier.
