Cushing Brain Spatula 15x18mm, 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled retraction and gentle separation of cerebral tissue, this Cushing spatula provides a stable, low‑profile contact surface for cortical and deep‑field exposure. It is used during tumor resections, aneurysm access, subdural procedures and other cranial operations where atraumatic manipulation and maintaining a clear operative corridor are required. The 15 x 18 mm blade footprint balances tissue support and visibility in confined operative fields.

Design & Configuration

The flat, rectangular blade geometry distributes retraction force over a modest contact area to reduce focal pressure on cortical surfaces while maximizing the working window for microscopic or microsurgical technique. The 20 cm overall length permits reach into standard cranial cavities without crowding the surgeon's hands or instruments at the field. A smooth transition from handle to blade and a thin profile along the blade edge facilitate insertion between tissue planes and permit controlled retraction with minimal disruption to adjacent structures.

Instrument Specifications
