Olivecrona brain spatula concave 18x22mm 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed for neurosurgical retraction and gentle manipulation of cerebral cortex and subcortical tissue during cranial procedures. The concave blade is used to cradle and displace brain tissue atraumatically in procedures such as craniotomy, tumor resection, hematoma evacuation, and operative exposure in confined cortical corridors. Its geometry supports controlled, focal retraction while minimizing concentrated pressure on cortical surfaces.

Design & Configuration

The concave Olivecrona pattern provides a cupped contact surface that conforms to the curvature of the brain, improving load distribution across the blade and reducing focal compression. The 18 x 22 mm blade offers a moderate contact area suitable for precise cortical retraction without excessive bulk. At 18 cm overall length, the instrument balances reach for shallow to moderately deep operative fields with tactile control for fine adjustments and one-handed positioning.
