The Cardiovascular Surgical Farabeuf Periosteal Raspatory 6″, Curved Straight 13 mm is a high-quality surgical instrument engineered for precise periosteal elevation and controlled tissue dissection during cardiovascular, thoracic, orthopedic, and reconstructive procedures. Designed in the classic Farabeuf pattern, this instrument incorporates curved and straight 13 mm working ends, allowing surgeons to adapt to different anatomical structures and surgical techniques with a single instrument.

Periosteal elevation is a fundamental step in procedures requiring access to the sternum, ribs, clavicle, and other bony structures. The Farabeuf Periosteal Raspatory is specifically designed to separate the periosteum from the bone with minimal tissue trauma, creating a clean surgical plane for improved exposure and operative efficiency. Its precision-crafted working ends facilitate smooth tissue elevation while preserving adjacent anatomical structures.

With an overall length of 6 inches, the raspatory provides an excellent balance of control and maneuverability. Its compact design allows surgeons to work efficiently in confined operative fields while maintaining superior tactile feedback. This makes the instrument particularly valuable during delicate cardiovascular and thoracic procedures where precision is essential.

The curved 13 mm working end is designed to follow the natural contours of bones such as the sternum and ribs, enabling controlled periosteal elevation around curved anatomical surfaces. The straight 13 mm working end provides direct access for precise dissection along flat bone surfaces, making it ideal for linear tissue elevation and bone preparation. Together, these dual working ends enhance surgical flexibility and reduce the need to switch instruments during procedures.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Cardiovascular Surgical Farabeuf Periosteal Raspatory delivers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term clinical reliability. Its robust construction withstands repeated autoclave sterilization while maintaining edge precision and structural integrity. The polished surgical finish facilitates easy cleaning and supports compliance with modern hospital sterilization and infection control standards.

The ergonomically balanced handle offers a secure and comfortable grip, allowing surgeons to perform delicate dissections with confidence. Its balanced construction reduces hand fatigue during prolonged procedures and enables smooth, controlled movements throughout periosteal elevation and bone exposure.

The Farabeuf Periosteal Raspatory 6″, Curved Straight 13 mm is commonly used during median sternotomy, rib surgery, thoracic procedures, orthopedic surgery, trauma surgery, reconstructive surgery, and cardiovascular operations requiring careful periosteal elevation and bone preparation. Its dual-ended configuration makes it a versatile addition to professional surgical instrument sets.

To maintain peak performance, the instrument should be thoroughly cleaned, inspected after each use, and sterilized according to validated hospital reprocessing protocols. Proper maintenance helps preserve precision, extends service life, and ensures consistent clinical performance.

The Cardiovascular Surgical Farabeuf Periosteal Raspatory 6″, Curved Straight 13 mm combines precision engineering, ergonomic design, and premium stainless steel construction to provide reliable periosteal elevation and tissue dissection for a wide range of surgical specialties.
