Freer periosteal elevator
Freer periosteal elevator with double-ended curved teardrop blades for precise periosteum separation and flap reflection in oral surgery and implant procedures.
Key Features:
• Double-ended design with opposing curved teardrop-shaped blades
• 4.5mm sharp blade for periosteum scoring and narrow site access
• 5mm blunt blade for subperiosteal flap elevation and retraction
• Thin, gently curved blades follow bone contours for controlled reflection
• Allows sequential use of sharp and blunt ends without instrument change
• Supports minimally invasive flap procedures with reduced soft tissue trauma
• Green-toned ringed knurled handle for secure, non-slip pen grasp
• Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel, autoclavable
• Ideal for implant site prep, extraction flap reflection, and mucoperiosteal procedures
• Narrow blade profile for interproximal and posterior access
The Freer periosteal elevator is a double-ended surgical instrument constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel, featuring two flat, slightly curved teardrop-shaped blades — one end measuring 4.5mm wide and the other 5mm wide. One working end carries a sharp cutting edge for separating the periosteum from underlying bone with an incising action, while the opposite blunt end serves for blunt dissection and retraction of the mucoperiosteal flap without cutting. Both blades are thin and gently curved, allowing them to follow the contour of the bone surface during subperiosteal reflection. The green-toned ringed knurled handle visible throughout the instrument body supports a firm, stable pen grasp during active elevation strokes and lever maneuvers.
The two differing blade widths give the clinician size-matched access to different sites within the same surgical field — the 4.5mm end enters narrower spaces such as interproximal crestal bone while the 5mm blade covers broader facial and palatal bone surfaces. The Periodontal Periosteal Surgical Elevator-Freer configuration is distinct from broader Molt-pattern elevators by its narrower, more delicate blade profile, which is suited for minimally invasive flap reflection with reduced soft tissue tearing.
Oral surgeons and periodontists use the Freer periosteal elevator during full-thickness mucoperiosteal flap procedures, implant site preparation, and extraction site reflection. The sharp end scores the periosteal attachment at the bone crest, and the blunt end then slides subperiosteally along the cortical surface to lift the flap away cleanly. Both ends work in sequence throughout the same flap reflection without switching instruments.
The Freer Periosteal Elevator Double Ended 4.5/5mm combination is a reliable dual-function tool for any surgical tray. Leader Surgical delivers this elevator to consistent blade dimensions, verified stainless steel composition, and sterilization-safe finishing.
What is the difference between the sharp and blunt ends?
The sharp end is used for the precise dissection and separation of the periosteum or perichondrium from the underlying bone. The blunt end is designed for the atraumatic lifting, scraping, or retraction of soft tissue flaps to minimize surgical trauma.
