Heifetz Brain Spatula 17mm, 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed for neurosurgical exposure, this spatula provides controlled, focal retraction of cortical and subcortical tissue during procedures such as tumor resection, hematoma evacuation, corticectomy, and microdissection. The 17 mm blade width enables targeted separation and protection of small cortical surfaces while minimizing surface pressure and tissue distortion.

Design & Configuration

The flat single-blade design distributes contact forces across a narrow footprint to allow precise, localized retraction. At 20 cm overall length, the instrument reaches deeper operative corridors through cranial windows while maintaining a low profile beneath the surgical microscope. A smooth leading edge facilitates gentle insertion into tissue planes, and the handle geometry supports secure manual control for fine adjustments during microsurgical work.
