Sklar Alexander Raspatory, Pediatric
A pediatric double ended raspatory used to strip periosteum from bone, available in 6 inch and 8 inch lengths. It remains a routine addition to matching specialty instrument trays.
The Sklar Alexander Raspatory is a pediatric surgical instrument used to strip periosteum from bone during orthopedic and thoracic procedures on younger patients, where instrument scale needs to match smaller anatomy. Its double ended design gives the surgeon two working surfaces on a single handle, allowing continued periosteal stripping from either end without swapping instruments during the procedure.
This listing offers the raspatory in two lengths, 6 inches and 8 inches, so the surgical team can match instrument reach to patient size and the specific bone being addressed, with the shorter length suited to smaller or more superficial fields and the longer length offering more reach for deeper or larger paediatric cases.
Raspatories of the Alexander pattern are traditionally associated with rib and thoracic periosteal stripping, though the pediatric sizing here extends that use to smaller patients. Paediatric surgical trays for orthopedic or thoracic procedures commonly stock both lengths together.
