Davis Brain Spatula d/e malleable 9x178mm

Clinical Application

Designed for neurosurgical exposure and atraumatic retraction of cortical and subcortical tissue, this malleable spatula supports controlled separation and protection of delicate neural structures during craniotomy, tumor removal, aneurysm exposure, and microsurgical procedures. The narrow 9 x 178 mm blade profile offers focal retraction with reduced footprint, while the length provides reach into deeper operative fields without frequent instrument exchanges.

Design & Configuration

The double-ended, malleable configuration permits intraoperative bending to match the curvature of cortical surfaces and surgical corridors, improving contact distribution and minimizing focal pressure. Having two working ends reduces instrument changes and allows the surgeon to select orientation or curvature quickly. The flat spatula blade design distributes retraction force across a broader area than pointed instruments, which helps reduce localized tissue compression.
