Clinical Application
The Heifetz-pattern 14 mm spatula is intended for controlled retraction and gentle separation of cortical and subcortical tissue during cranial procedures. Its narrow 14 mm blade is optimized for creating and maintaining small operative corridors and protecting adjacent brain tissue while providing exposure for tumor resection, hematoma evacuation, microdissection, and vascular procedures in confined spaces.
Design & Configuration
The flat spatula geometry distributes retraction force over a localized area to reduce point pressure on neural tissue. A 20 cm overall length provides reach into deeper cranial cavities while allowing the operator to maintain precise manual control. The slim blade profile facilitates insertion between gyri and along narrow surgical pathways with minimal tissue displacement.
