Childrens Hospital Brain Spatula 14mm, 21cm

Clinical Application

Designed for use in pediatric neurosurgery where space is limited and tissue tolerance is lower, this narrow brain spatula provides controlled, focal retraction of cerebral cortex and superficial parenchyma. The 14 mm blade width is appropriate for exposing small cortical corridors, aiding access during tumor resection, hematoma evacuation, ventricular approach, and other intracranial procedures in children. The flat blade distributes contact pressure across a wider surface than a hook or blade tip, reducing focal compression while maintaining exposure.

Design & Configuration

The single, flat blade geometry offers a low-profile footprint for working in confined operative fields. A 14 mm blade balances the need for tissue separation with minimal surface area to limit collateral pressure. The 21 cm length provides sufficient reach from the surgeon's hand to the operative site in standard pediatric cranial approaches while maintaining tactile control. Smooth, contoured edges help reduce tissue snagging and facilitate atraumatic manipulation and repositioning during delicate dissections.
