Description
Developed with Mauro Labanca
The Labanca 1 periosteal elevator is a double-ended instrument designed for reflecting and retracting the mucoperiosteum following gingival incisions. In practice, the Labanca 1 is closely comparable to a Prichard-style periosteal, featuring slender, elongated working ends intended for precise, controlled soft-tissue management rather than broad flap elevation.
This design makes the Labanca 1 particularly useful in periodontal surgery, implant-adjacent procedures, and esthetic zones where finesse, visibility, and controlled access are more important than leverage.
Key Features
• Double-ended configuration with slim, narrow working ends
• Elongated blade profiles similar in feel and function to Prichard-style periosteals
• Rounded, non-aggressive edges for controlled mucoperiosteal separation
• Geometry suited for interproximal access and delicate flap manipulation
• Precision-finished stainless steel for smooth tissue handling
Clinical Advantages
• Well suited for periodontal flap procedures and implant-adjacent soft-tissue work
• Facilitates access in interproximal areas and thin tissue biotypes
• Supports controlled reflection and retraction without excessive force
• Provides good tactile feedback during fine tissue manipulation
• Durable surgical stainless steel construction for repeated sterilization
Clinical Takeaway
The Labanca 1 periosteal is best viewed as a precision-oriented instrument, similar in application to the Prichard 3, and is ideal for clinicians who prefer slender periosteals for controlled, atraumatic mucoperiosteal management in periodontal and implant workflows.
