Periosteal elevator 24g

The Periosteal elevator 24g (Article# LS1-354) is a double-ended instrument combining two distinct 4 mm working ends — one curved blade with a rounded tip and one angled flat cutting blade on a straight shank. The curved end features a rounded peripheral edge sharpened around its full perimeter, while the straight-shank end carries a beveled triangular blade for entering approximal cavities and releasing tissue from tight interproximal corners. The round ringed knurled handle is machined from surgical-grade stainless steel, measuring 165 mm (6.5 inches) overall, with the blunt sides of each tip facing the tissue to prevent inadvertent sulcular wall damage.

The dual-blade design on the 24G Periosteal P24GSP6 allows the clinician to switch between the curved reflector for broad mucoperiosteal elevation and the angled flat blade for confined interproximal and corner tissue release without a tray exchange. Both working ends remain sharp around the full blade perimeter, allowing tissue detachment on push and lateral strokes in either direction. The stainless-steel body withstands autoclave sterilization at 134°C without blade deformation or tip geometry distortion across repeated clinical cycles.

Periodontists and oral surgeons use the Periosteal elevator 24g during periodontal flap surgery, crown lengthening, and osseous resective procedures to reflect and retract the mucoperiosteum after initial gingival incisions. The Periodontal Periosteal Surgical Elevator-24G curved end separates the periosteum from the underlying bone in broad strokes, while the angled flat end releases tissue from approximal corners that the rounded blade cannot access in a single approach.

Every instrument that carries the Leader Surgical name goes through the same manufacturing standard, no shortcuts, no variation, and no compromise on what gets handed to a surgeon.

How do the two ends differ?
The double-ended design features a pointed tip for the initial separation of tissue and a rounded spatula or chisel-shaped end for blunt dissection and further elevation of the flap.
