2 Hourigan Periosteal
2 Hourigan Periosteal is a double-ended mucoperiosteal elevator designed for precise subperiosteal flap reflection and controlled tissue retraction.
Key Features:
• Double-ended design with 4.0 mm tapered pointed blade and 3.0 mm rounded spoon-shaped blade
• Pointed end provides precise initial elevation at incision margins
• Rounded end retracts and elevates flap safely without perforation risk
• Beveled non-tissue-facing edges for smooth subperiosteal insertion
• Round ringed knurled handle for secure, balanced pen grasp
• Overall length 165 mm (6.5 in) with mid-handle balance for controlled blade pressure
• Surgical-grade stainless steel construction, autoclavable at 134 °C
• Maintains blade geometry and sharpness through repeated sterilization cycles
• Ideal for gingivectomy, osseous surgery, implant site prep, and crown lengthening
• Enables sequential use of pointed and rounded blades for minimally traumatic flap reflection
The 2 Hourigan Periosteal (Article# LS1-363) is a double-ended mucoperiosteal elevator carrying two distinct fine blades, a tapered pointed blade measuring 4.0 mm on one end and a rounded, slightly spoon-shaped blade measuring 3.0 mm on the other. Both blades are sharpened and beveled on the non-tissue-facing side, ensuring smooth subperiosteal entry without tearing the reflected flap. The round ringed knurled handle is machined from surgical-grade stainless steel, measuring 165 mm (6.5 inches) overall, with the balance point centered at mid-handle for controlled blade pressure during full-thickness flap reflection.
The 4.0 mm pointed end on the Surgical Periosteals Hourigan #2 provides initial elevation at the incision margin — its narrow taper entering beneath the periosteum at the incision line before the broader rounded end takes over for wider lateral reflection. The 3.0 mm rounded end then retracts the elevated flap without the risk of perforation that pointed blades carry during broad sweeping strokes away from the incision. Both blades tolerate autoclave sterilization at 134°C without deformation or edge loss across repeated clinical cycles.
Periodontists and oral surgeons use the 2 Hourigan Periosteal during full-thickness mucoperiosteal flap procedures including gingivectomy, osseous resective surgery, implant site preparation, and crown lengthening. The clinician inserts the pointed 4.0 mm end beneath the periosteum at the incision margin and advances it in short sweeping strokes, then switches to the #2 Periosteal Hourigan Tool rounded end for blunt retraction along the bone surface away from the surgical field.
Leader Surgical produces instruments that surgical teams reach for by name, a reputation built one consistent, well-manufactured tool at a time.
How does a Hourigan Dental Elevator assist in extractions?
It is designed to loosen the tooth from the periodontal ligament, making it easier to pull the tooth with forceps. It uses the principles of leverage and wedging to create space between the tooth and the alveolar bone.
