Bone raspatory

Definition

A hand-held, manually-operated, surgical instrument with a profiled, forward-scraping edge (sharp or blunt, sometimes double-sided) used to elevate and/or detach the periosteum (membrane of fibrous connective tissue tightly surrounding bone) from the underlying bone by a pushing action usually applied along the longitudinal axis of the bone. It is typically a one-piece instrument made of high-grade stainless steel; it is available in a wide variety of sizes and blade designs [e.g., slender or robust, curved, spoon-shaped, or flat (chisel-like)]. This is a reusable device.
