Davis Brain Spatula d/e malleable 16x178mm

Clinical Application

Designed for neurosurgical procedures where atraumatic retraction and protection of cortical tissue is required. The instrument is intended to provide gentle, controlled separation of brain tissue and to maintain working corridors during craniotomy, tumor resection, clot evacuation, and other intracranial procedures. Its form factor supports fine adjustments and sustained retraction with minimized focal pressure on cortical surfaces.

Design & Configuration

The malleable construction allows intraoperative contouring to match cortical curvature, distributing retraction forces more evenly and reducing point pressure. A double-ended configuration provides two working ends for increased intraoperative versatility without exchanging instruments, helping the surgical team adapt quickly to changing exposure needs. Flat spatula blades create a broad contact surface to protect delicate neural tissue while maintaining clear visualization of the surgical field.
