The Cardiovascular Surgical Farabeuf Periosteal Raspatory 6″, Straight Curved 13 mm is a versatile surgical instrument developed for precise periosteal elevation and controlled soft tissue dissection in cardiovascular, thoracic, orthopedic, and reconstructive surgery. Designed in the classic Farabeuf pattern, this raspatory combines straight and curved 13 mm working ends, allowing surgeons to adapt to varying anatomical contours and surgical approaches without changing instruments.

Periosteal elevation is an essential step in many surgical procedures involving the sternum, ribs, clavicle, and other bony structures. The Farabeuf Periosteal Raspatory enables careful separation of the periosteum from the underlying bone while preserving surrounding tissues. Its dual-ended configuration supports efficient tissue elevation, bone preparation, and exposure of the operative site, contributing to greater surgical precision and improved procedural workflow.

With an overall length of 6 inches, this instrument offers excellent maneuverability in both superficial and confined operative fields. Its compact design allows surgeons to maintain superior tactile feedback and precise control during delicate dissections, making it particularly suitable for procedures where accuracy is critical.

The straight 13 mm working end is ideal for direct periosteal elevation along flat bone surfaces, enabling smooth and controlled tissue separation. The curved 13 mm working end is specifically designed to follow the natural contours of anatomical structures, providing improved access around curved bones such as the ribs and sternum. This combination enhances surgical versatility and minimizes the need for multiple instruments during a procedure.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Cardiovascular Surgical Farabeuf Periosteal Raspatory provides exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability. 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 hospital sterilization and infection control standards.

The ergonomically balanced handle provides a secure and comfortable grip, allowing surgeons to perform controlled dissections with confidence. Its well-balanced design reduces hand fatigue during extended procedures while supporting precise instrument movements around delicate anatomical structures.

The Farabeuf Periosteal Raspatory 6″, Straight Curved 13 mm is widely used during median sternotomy, rib surgery, thoracic procedures, orthopedic surgery, trauma surgery, reconstructive surgery, and cardiovascular operations requiring accurate periosteal elevation and bone exposure. Its compact size and dual working ends make it a valuable addition to professional surgical instrument sets.

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

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