Olivecrona brain spatula concave 7x9mm, 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed for neurosurgical retraction, this concave Olivecrona spatula provides atraumatic, focal retraction of cortical and subcortical tissue during cranial procedures. The small 7 x 9 mm blade profile allows precise separation and protection of delicate neural surfaces in confined operative corridors, useful for superficial cortical retraction, working along sulci, and maintaining a clear field during microdissection and lesion exposure.

Design & Configuration

The concave Olivecrona geometry conforms to the convex curvature of the cerebral cortex, distributing contact forces over a controlled surface area to reduce focal pressure points. The 7 x 9 mm blade balances contact area with visibility and access—small enough for targeted retraction yet broad enough to protect tissue. An 18 cm overall length gives surgeons reach into deeper or narrow cranial cavities while maintaining tactile feedback for fine adjustments during hand-held retraction.
