Olivecrona brain spatula convex 15x18mm, 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed for controlled, atraumatic retraction of cortical and subcortical brain tissue during open cranial procedures. The small convex blade footprint allows surgeons to maintain focal exposure in tight operative corridors, support gentle separation of neural structures, and assist with blunt dissection and temporary retraction during tumour resections, hematoma evacuation, and other intracranial cases where precision retraction is required.

Design & Configuration

The convex blade profile distributes contact pressure across a broader surface compared with a sharp edge, helping to minimize focal indentation on delicate cerebral tissue. A 15 x 18 mm blade provides a compact, low‑profile retraction surface suited to fine cortical manipulation and limited-field exposures. The 18 cm overall length balances reach into the surgical field while preserving tactile control at the handle, making it useful for both superficial cortical work and slightly deeper exposures through standard craniotomies.

Instrument Specifications

• Pattern: Olivecrona convex brain spatula
• Blade dimensions: 15 x 18 mm (convex)
• Overall length: 18 cm
• Intended use: Focal cortical and subcortical retraction
• Construction: Surgical‑grade stainless steel
• Reusable: Yes

Material & Construction

Crafted from surgical‑grade stainless steel for durability, corrosion resistance, and repeated sterilization cycles. The blade edges and contact surface are finished to a smooth polish to reduce tissue adherence and facilitate atraumatic retraction. Reusable construction supports standard hospital sterilization workflows.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
