Pichard Elevator 3 Hollow Handle 10m

Description

The Prichard Periosteal Elevator #3 (PR3) is a premium double-ended surgical instrument engineered for precise flap reflection, tissue separation, and periosteal elevation during periodontal, maxillofacial, and dental implant surgeries. Featuring a lightweight ~10 mm hollow handle, this instrument offers optimal tactile sensitivity, enhanced grip control, and reduced hand fatigue during delicate mucoperiosteal tissue manipulation.

Key Clinical Applications

• Flap Elevation & Reflection: Efficiently detaches and elevates the mucoperiosteal flap from underlying alveolar bone without tearing soft tissue margins.

• Tissue Retraction: Holds reflected surgical flaps securely in place to maintain a clear visual field during osseous contouring, bone grafting, and implant site preparation.

• Periodontal & Mucogingival Surgery: Ideal for tunneling techniques, connective tissue graft placement, and open flap debridement.

Key Features & Design Advantages

1. Dual Working Ends for Versatility:

   • Broad Flat Blade: Used for efficient, trauma-free reflection and retraction of larger tissue flaps across the alveolar ridge.

   • Narrow Curved End: Allows subtle initial reflection, interdental tissue detachment, and working in tight mucosal zones.

2. ~10 mm Ergonomic Hollow Handle: The enlarged, lightweight grip improves rotational control and reduces pinch force, helping minimize operator fatigue during lengthy surgical procedures.

3. Atraumatic Blade Edges: Precision-ground edges separate tissue cleanly along the periosteal plane without nicking bone or lacerating delicate flap margins.

4. Surgical-Grade Construction: Built from high-durability stainless steel for high corrosion resistance and long-lasting edge retention through repeated autoclave cycles.
