Cushing Brain Spatula 7x9mm, 17cm

Clinical Application

Designed for focal retraction and gentle elevation of cortical and subcortical tissue during cranial procedures. The small 7 x 9 mm tip allows precise, low-profile retraction in confined microsurgical corridors, sulcal dissection, and exposure of superficial lesions. Its 17 cm overall length provides sufficient reach for both superficial cortical work and access into deeper operative fields while maintaining tactile control for single-handed manipulation.

Design & Configuration

The narrow, flat blade geometry concentrates contact area to achieve targeted retraction with reduced surface pressure, helping to minimize parenchymal trauma. The hand-held shaft length balances reach and control, permitting stable retraction without encroaching on the operative field. A smooth, atraumatic tip profile facilitates tissue separation and reduces snagging during placement and repositioning.
