Description

Mini Periosteal Elevator: Minimally Invasive Access to Bone in Hand and Foot Surgery

The Mini Periosteal Elevator is a specialized surgical instrument used in orthopedic surgery, particularly hand and foot surgery, to access bone during minimally invasive procedures. This delicate tool allows surgeons to carefully detach and elevate the periosteum, the thin membrane that surrounds the bone.

Facilitating Minimally Invasive Bone Access:

• Minimally Invasive Approach: The small size of the Mini Periosteal Elevator enables surgeons to work through smaller incisions. This minimizes disruption to surrounding muscles, blood vessels, and nerves, potentially leading to faster healing times, reduced post-operative pain, and improved patient comfort.
• Delicate Periosteal Elevation: The instrument’s design features a thin, smooth surface that allows for careful detachment and elevation of the periosteum. This minimizes damage to this important tissue layer, which plays a crucial role in bone healing and blood supply.
• Enhanced Visualization of Bone Surface: By elevating the periosteum, the Mini Periosteal Elevator provides a clear view of the underlying bone surface. This improved visualization is essential for surgeons to perform delicate procedures on small bones with greater precision.

Applications in Minimally Invasive Surgery:

The Mini Periosteal Elevator is particularly suited for minimally invasive surgery on small bones of the:

• Hand
• Wrist
• Foot
• Ankle
• Procedures where the periosteum needs to be preserved for optimal bone healing, such as:
  • Fracture repair
  • Bone graft placement
  • Tendon or ligament repair

Important Considerations:

The Mini Periosteal Elevator is a valuable tool for orthopedic surgeons specializing in minimally invasive hand and foot surgery. However, using this instrument effectively requires proper surgical training and expertise. Consulting with a qualified orthopedic surgeon is crucial to determine the most appropriate treatment approach for your individual case.

Additional Notes:

• Mini Periosteal Elevators may come in various sizes and tip shapes to accommodate different surgical needs and access requirements.
