Heifetz Brain Spatula 20mm, 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled, atraumatic retraction of cerebral cortex and superficial brain tissue during open cranial procedures. The 20 mm blade provides a balance between surface area and precision, making this spatula suitable for cortical separation, working alongside microsurgical dissectors, and maintaining exposure during tumor resection, hematoma evacuation, and other delicate neurosurgical exposures.

Design & Configuration

The Heifetz pattern features a single flat, low-profile spatula blade that distributes retraction forces across a wider surface than a pointed instrument, reducing focal pressure on cortical tissue. At 20 cm overall length, the instrument offers reach into deeper operative corridors while remaining maneuverable for hand-held micro-retraction. The 20 mm blade width allows the surgeon to modulate retraction force and footprint based on the operative need.
