ENGINEERED AS A SURGICAL INSTRUMENT
Harvest. Collect. Reprocess.
Eli-Ka STS uses a modular metal instrument, a circular multi-quadrant blade and an integrated collection reservoir to support autogenous bone harvesting.
01
Modular Surgical Construction
Built as a reusable surgical instrument rather than a molded disposable device.
02
Four Cutting Quadrants
The circular blade can be rotated to expose another working quadrant as appropriate.
03
Integrated Collection Reservoir
Harvested bone chips feed into the reservoir for controlled collection and release.
04
Replace Only What Wears
The reusable platform is retained and the cutting component is replaced as required.
01
Engage
Position and control the circular cutting head against the harvesting site.
02
Collect
Autogenous bone is captured within the integrated reservoir during harvesting.
03
Reprocess
Disassemble, clean and sterilize validated components according to the manufacturer's instructions.

WHY RECONSIDER REUSABLE
Reusable bone scrapers aren’t new. This one is different.
Traditional reusable scrapers offered reusable economics, but some designs compromised handling or cutting efficiency. Disposable scrapers improved convenience, while introducing the recurring cost of purchasing and discarding the complete instrument. Eli-Ka STS was designed to remove that tradeoff.
Traditional Reusable
Reusable economics. Surgical compromises.
- Reusable instrument
- Handling and balance vary by design
- Cutting and collection designs vary
- Width and accesibility in oral cavity challenging
Disposable
Convenient cutting. Recurring full-instrument cost.
- Complete instrument opened for each case
- Used once
- Complete instrument discarded
- Cutting blade dulls quickly
Eli-Ka STS
Balanced Surgical handling options. Circular cutting. Reusable economics.
- Compact modular instrument
- High Quality Surgical Steel circular blade with four cutting quadrants
- Integrated bone collection reservoir
- Reusable system reprocessed according to manufacturer instructions
*some variations on the above statements on traditional reusable and disposable may exist.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Eli-Ka STS cost compared to disposable scrapers?
At full retail price, the Eli-Ka STS Straight with a Stainless Steel handle costs as little as $14.17 per harvest (when permanent handle price is excluded) — based on the manufacturer-stated 12-cycle sterilization life. By comparison, the SafeScraper Twist #3987 costs $83.33 per use (sold as a 3-pack at $250), and the Micross ref 4049 costs $124.00 per use. At 50 harvests per year, that translates to roughly $917 annually for Eli-Ka STS versus $4,167 for SafeScraper Twist or $6,200 for Micross — before applying your AAP25 discount. Actual cost per harvest varies by handle material and blade size selected. Competitor pricing sourced from Osteogenics.com, September 2026.
How does the angled (offset) Eli-Ka STS compare to the SafeScraper Twist?
Both instruments are designed for autogenous bone harvesting, but they differ significantly in design and economics. The SafeScraper Twist #3987 (Meta / Osteogenics) is a single-use instrument with a 160° curved blade and a 2.5cc collection chamber, sold in packs of 3 at $250 — $83.33 per procedure. The Eli-Ka STS Angled is a reusable, modular instrument with a 360° active cutting blade and an integrated collection tank. The blade and tank assembly is autoclavable for up to 12 sterilization cycles per the manufacturer IFU. The handle is autoclavable like an ordinary dental instrument and can last years. At entry-level pricing, the Eli-Ka STS Angled costs from $14.17 per harvest (Tank/Blade cost / 12). Both instruments are indicated for posterior and confined-access bone harvesting sites.
How long does a blade last?
Blade-life terminology must follow the current manufacturer IFU (12 verified autoclave cycles). Actual sharpness life varies with factors including bone density, applied pressure, contact with abrasive or metallic surfaces, cleaning method and instrument care.
How is the instrument cleaned and sterilized?
Disassemble the instrument before washing and follow the current manufacturer instructions for cleaning, rinsing, drying, packaging and steam sterilization. The summary on this page does not replace the complete IFU.
What is the difference between the straight and offset/angled STS?
The straight configuration is intended for anterior and readily accessible harvesting sites. The offset/angled configuration is designed for posterior and more confined access. Each geometry is offered with different handle-material and balance options.
How is the scraper used?
Follow the manufacturer instructions supplied with the product. The instructions describe positioning the reservoir window against the bone surface, establishing the recommended working angle and applying controlled pressure while moving the scraper to collect bone chips.
