Freer Periosteal Elevator 7.5"

This is a multipurpose tool used in many procedures, commonly to elevate the periosteum from bone in confined spaces. It is double ended and typically has a rounded handle with two slightly curved, tear-drop shaped tips. One tip is blunt while the other is sharp. The curvature of the tips allows for the navigation of contours, such as when elevating the periosteum during repair of orbital floor fractures.
