Obwegeser Mandibular Raspatory, Left, 18cm — Overview

The Obwegeser Mandibular Raspatory, Left (S27-148-01) is an 18cm periosteal elevator/raspatory shaped specifically for the left mandible, part of the broader Obwegeser orthognathic instrument family, used for periosteal elevation and bone exposure along the left side of the lower jaw.

What a Raspatory Does

A raspatory is a form of periosteal elevator, typically with a broader or specifically curved working blade suited to elevating periosteum across a wider bone surface than a narrow elevator tip would efficiently cover, commonly used for initial, broader periosteal stripping before finer instruments address specific curved surfaces or landmarks.

Left-Side Mandibular Shaping

Shaped and angled specifically for the left side of the mandible, this instrument reflects the same left/right anatomical specificity seen across the Hargis ramus retractors and other paired instruments in this range, typically used together with a matching right-side version for bilateral mandibular procedures.

Clinical Use

This raspatory is used in orthognathic mandibular surgery for broader periosteal elevation along the left mandible, ahead of osteotomy or other bone-access procedures.

Material and Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel and hand-finished in Sialkot, Pakistan, with a smoothly finished working blade designed for efficient, clean periosteal elevation.

Sterilization and Care

Fully autoclavable and intended for repeated reuse. The working edge should be inspected before each use for nicks or burrs that could tear periosteum.
