Frequently asked questions
Is the material durable enough for frequent hospital use?
Yes, this instrument is manufactured from high-grade stainless steel. It is specifically designed as a reusable tool intended to withstand the rigors of standard, repeated sterilization cycles in a clinical environment.
How does the handle design improve control during surgery?
The handle is intentionally hollow and features vertical grooves. This design provides:
- Superior Tactile Feedback: Helps the surgeon feel the instrument’s interaction with the bone.
- Enhanced Grip: The grooves maximize friction for a secure hold, offering better control than standard smooth-handled elevators.
Is this elevator optimized for craniomaxillofacial procedures?
Absolutely. The Sklar Obwegeser Periosteal Elevator is engineered specifically for craniomaxillofacial and ENT surgical environments, making it a specialized choice for tasks like stripping the periosteum from the mandible.
Does the tip design help minimize tissue trauma?
Yes, the instrument is designed with a blunt tip and a rounded working edge. These features allow for efficient and careful tissue manipulation, significantly reducing the risk of accidental damage to surrounding structures.
Is the product free of natural rubber latex?
Yes, this instrument is guaranteed to be not made with natural rubber latex, making it a suitable and safe choice for patients with latex sensitivities.
Does this tool meet federal procurement standards?
Yes, this instrument is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, ensuring it meets the necessary regulations for government procurement and use in government-affiliated surgical facilities.
How should this instrument be handled before the first use?
The instrument ships as a non-sterile product. Prior to use in any surgical setting, it must undergo standard hospital sterilization procedures to ensure it is ready for the sterile field.
Why is this preferable to a Semb elevator?
While traditional elevators like the Semb are effective, the Obwegeser is specifically refined for craniomaxillofacial work. Its primary advantage lies in the handle ergonomics and the specific curvature of the working end, which provide a balance of control and precision that surgeons often prefer for mandible procedures.
Is the instrument size suitable for standard surgical tasks?
The instrument features a total length of 7 inches. This length is highly versatile, offering the ideal reach for delicate dissection while maintaining the necessary leverage for periosteal stripping.
Is the curvature of the tip standard?
It features a slightly curved instrument profile. This ergonomic shaping is designed to provide better access to anatomical contours, making it easier to navigate around the mandible during surgical procedures.
