Rugged-Core Hargis Anterior Border Stripper (19cm) for Precise Ramus Exposure
The Hargis Anterior Border Stripper is a vital tool for orthognathic and trauma surgeons, specifically engineered for the efficient stripping of muscle and periosteal attachments from the leading edge of the ramus. Functioning as a high-performance mandibular rasp, this 19cm instrument features a specialized notch at the distal tip that locks onto the anterior border, preventing the tool from slipping into the soft tissues of the cheek. Adas Instruments ensures that each ramus cleaver is balanced for high-leverage elevation, facilitating a clear surgical field for subsequent bone cuts. We ship USA, Europe & worldwide via DHL, FedEx, and UPS to deliver German steel instruments that surgeons trust for their anatomical safety and mechanical reliability.
Why Maxillofacial Specialists Choose Our Hargis Stripper
- Optic-Shift Tip Geometry: Features a specialized V-shaped notched blade to act as a versatile mandibular rasp, ensuring the instrument stays centered on the narrow anterior ridge.
- Force-Vantage Stability: Specifically designed with an ergonomic, widened handle to function as a reliable ramus cleaver, allowing for significant upward pressure during periosteal elevation.
- Atraumatic Separation: The edges of the blade are sharpened just enough to cleave the periosteum without causing excessive trauma to the masseter or medial pterygoid muscles.
- Steady-State Resilience: Forged from high-tempered surgical stainless steel to maintain its edge and structural alignment through frequent high-impact use.
Primary Surgical Applications
- Elevating the periosteum during the initial phases of a Bilateral Sagittal Split Osteotomy (BSSO).
- utilizing the mandibular rasp function to clear the coronoid process during mandibular surgery.
- Performing efficient ramus cleaver maneuvers to expose the site for trauma plating.
- Gaining access to the retromolar area for third molar impactions or bone graft harvesting.
