Rib raspatory (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 rib periosteum (membrane of fibrous connective tissue) 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 variety of sizes and blade designs (e.g., long shaft-like blades that terminate in right-angles, scythe-like blades that fit over the rib bone, or robust blades that may be notched or curved), and may be used for rib-like bones (e.g., clavicle, fibula). This is a reusable device.)
