About Molt #9 Periosteal Elevator

We build the Molt #9 as a double-ended periosteal elevator used to reflect and retract the mucoperiosteal flap after a soft-tissue incision, giving you a clear surgical field before bone work or extraction begins.

Two Ends, Two Steps

The pointed end starts the initial tissue reflection along the incision line; the broader end continues lifting and holds the flap retracted once it is raised. Combining both functions on one instrument means you do not switch instruments between starting and continuing flap reflection.

Choosing Between Periosteal Patterns

The Molt #9 is a widely used general-purpose periosteal pattern for routine flap reflection. If your procedures need a narrower, more delicate working end or a longer reach, our Prichard, Freer, or Williger patterns are better suited — compare against those before standardizing on one elevator for every case.

Material and Ordering

We build this in reusable stainless steel with a satin finish, available as an individual instrument or as part of a specified surgical set. Private-label branding and minimum order quantity are confirmed with your quotation. Check both working ends for edge dulling after use — an elevator that has lost its edge tends to tear tissue rather than reflect it cleanly. Follow your facility's own validated reprocessing protocol; our dental instrument cleaning and ultrasonic processing guide covers the general workflow reference.

Molt #9 Periosteal Elevator Questions

Why is the Molt #9 double-ended?

So the pointed end can start tissue reflection along the incision and the broad end can continue lifting and hold the flap retracted, without switching instruments mid-step.

What is the Molt #9 periosteal elevator used for?

It reflects and retracts the mucoperiosteal flap after a soft-tissue incision, exposing the surgical field before bone work or extraction. The pointed end starts the reflection; the broad end continues lifting and retraction.

Is a periosteal elevator the same as a dental (root) elevator?

No. A periosteal elevator reflects and retracts soft tissue; a root elevator luxates a tooth or root fragment from its socket. They serve different steps in a procedure.

When would I choose a Prichard, Freer, or Williger pattern instead of the Molt 9?

For a narrower, more delicate working end or a longer reach than the general-purpose Molt 9 provides. Compare our Prichard, Freer, and Williger periosteal elevator pages against your case needs.

Is the Molt #9 autoclave sterilizable?

This is a reusable metal instrument. Confirm the instructions supplied for the exact pattern and follow the healthcare facility’s validated cleaning, inspection, packaging, and sterilization protocol.

What details should I provide for a Molt #9 bulk quote?

Specify the Molt #9 pattern, quantity, finish preference, individual or set packaging, branding needs if any, and destination country.
