The Seldin Periosteal Elevator 23 Oct Handle is a specialized surgical instrument designed for controlled elevation and manipulation of periosteal tissue during dental, oral, and maxillofacial procedures. Its practical design allows the surgeon to apply controlled pressure while separating or elevating tissue from the underlying bone.
The 23 Oct handle configuration provides a comfortable and secure grip, supporting precise handling during procedures that require careful tissue management. A well-balanced periosteal elevator can help improve control when working around bone surfaces, surgical sites, and confined anatomical areas. The handle design also allows the instrument to be held firmly during repeated manipulation without unnecessarily compromising hand positioning.
The working end of a Seldin periosteal elevator is intended for gentle tissue elevation and periosteal reflection. It can be used during procedures where access to the underlying bone is required, including oral surgery, dental surgery, periodontal procedures, and selected maxillofacial applications. The instrument is particularly useful when controlled separation of the periosteum from bone is required as part of the surgical approach.
When manufactured as a reusable instrument, it is typically produced from surgical-grade stainless steel to provide strength, corrosion resistance, and durability under routine clinical use. The metal construction also supports repeated cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization when the instrument is designed and validated for reusable use.
The smooth handle and working surfaces facilitate practical cleaning and inspection. Before each procedure, the elevator should be checked for surface damage, bending, corrosion, or irregularities that could affect performance. Proper maintenance is important for preserving the working condition and longevity of reusable surgical instruments.
The Seldin Periosteal Elevator 23 Oct Handle is suitable for professional dental and surgical instrument sets where dependable tissue elevation and controlled periosteal manipulation are required. Its straightforward design makes it a useful addition to oral surgery, periodontal, implant, and maxillofacial instrument collections.
For reusable versions, cleaning and sterilization should always be performed according to the instrument manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s established sterilization protocol. Proper handling, drying, inspection, and storage can help maintain instrument performance over repeated use.
