A flap that tears is a flap that heals slowly.
Reflecting periosteum cleanly off bone depends on keeping the working end against the bone and the tissue intact above it. Too little contact and the elevator slips into the flap; too much force in the wrong plane and the periosteum shreds rather than lifts. The stroke has to be felt, not just applied — which puts the instrument's tip design and balance at the center of the outcome.
The Nordent CECPLH20 Periosteal Elevator Hirschfield #20 is built for that work. The Hirschfield #20 working end gives a defined profile for elevating and reflecting periosteal and soft tissue, and the lightweight DuraLite® ColorRings™ handle keeps tactile feedback from the tip reaching the fingers.
Designed for Controlled Tissue Manipulation
A periosteal elevator is used to lift and reflect the periosteum and soft tissue away from underlying bone, opening access to the surgical site. The Hirschfield #20 pattern gives clinicians a familiar profile for that, suited to procedures where access is limited and the working end has to be placed precisely against bone.
Key features include:
- Hirschfield #20 working end — designed for controlled tissue manipulation in oral surgery
- Periosteal elevator design — supports elevation and reflection of periosteal and soft tissue
- Defined working end — maintains controlled contact and positioning against bone
- DuraLite® ColorRings™ handle — lightweight, ergonomic, and color-coded for quick identification
- Strong tactile feedback — supports controlled finger positioning through the stroke
- Sterilization ready — suitable for standard dental instrument reprocessing protocols
Why Handle Weight Matters in Surgery
Surgical instrumentation asks for sustained, deliberate control rather than force. DuraLite® handles weigh noticeably less than solid stainless, so less grip effort goes into holding the elevator steady and more of the clinician's attention stays on what the working end is meeting. Over a longer procedure, that shows up as less hand fatigue and a steadier plane of reflection.
Practical advantages include:
- Reduced hand fatigue during extended surgical procedures
- Better tactile feedback through a lightweight handle
- Faster instrument selection with ColorRings™ identification
- Cleaner tray organization for surgical setups
- Consistent handling across a matched Nordent set
Fits Existing Surgical Setups
The CECPLH20 slots into a standard oral surgical tray alongside elevators, curettes, retractors, and scalpel handles without changing the sequence already in use. For practices running Nordent instruments, the handle feel and color system carry across — so it can be added one instrument at a time rather than as a full set replacement.
