Tessier Periosteal Elevator 18cm: Precision Craniofacial Dissection
The Tessier Periosteal Elevator 18cm from Adas Instruments is an essential tool for surgeons specializing in cranio-maxillofacial and plastic surgery. This specialized dissector is made from premium German Stainless Steel, providing the structural integrity and sharp, thin edge required to safely lift the periosteal layer from the facial bones with minimal trauma to the surrounding soft tissue.
Exceptional Engineering & Accuracy
Manufactured from high-grade German stainless steel, each Tessier elevator undergoes a rigorous passivation and boil-test process to ensure maximum longevity and rust prevention. The blade is meticulously finished to be semi-sharp, allowing for efficient separation of fibrous tissue while preventing accidental bone scoring. At Adas Instruments, we prioritize 100% technical accuracy, ensuring the 18cm length and handle weight provide the perfect balance for controlled, high-finesse maneuvers.
Surgical Applications
- Maxillofacial Reconstruction: Used for elevating the periosteum during Le Fort osteotomies and fracture fixations.
- Rhinoplasty & Septoplasty: Facilitates the clean elevation of the nasal periosteum to expose the underlying bony vault.
- Forehead & Brow Lifts: Essential for subperiosteal dissection in aesthetic facial procedures.
Care and Maintenance Section
To preserve the delicate edge of the blade, the elevator should be cleaned using enzymatic solutions and a soft brush before being placed in an ultrasonic cleaner. It is fully autoclavable and resistant to repeated sterilization cycles. Adas Instruments ships USA, Europe & worldwide to support specialized surgical centers with elite-tier instrumentation.
