Double Ended Periosteal Elevator Fig. 13

The Double Ended Periosteal Elevator, Fig. 13, carries a different blade profile at each end of a single shaft. The advantage is procedural rather than merely economical. During flap elevation the operator frequently needs to change profile part way through, using one shape to begin at the gingival margin and another to continue along the bone or to turn a corner at the release incision.

With single ended instruments this means putting one down and picking up another, and each exchange interrupts the work and adds an instrument to the tray. A double ended elevator is simply reversed in the hand. The instrument also occupies one slot in a cassette rather than two.

• Two different blade profiles on a single shaft
• Profile changed by reversing the instrument in the hand
• Avoids putting one instrument down and picking up another
• Useful when beginning at the margin and continuing along bone
• Reduces interruption during flap elevation
• Occupies one cassette slot rather than two

Why use a double ended periosteal?

Flap elevation often requires a change of profile part way through, which a double ended instrument allows by reversing it.

Is there a practical storage benefit?

Yes. It occupies one cassette slot rather than two.
