Cushing Brain Spatula 18x22mm, 28cm

Clinical Application

Designed for neurosurgical retraction, this Cushing spatula provides a stable, atraumatic platform to elevate and protect cortical and subcortical tissue during craniotomy, tumor resection, hematoma evacuation, and microsurgical approaches. The blade size balances surface contact with maneuverability, allowing surgeons to distribute retraction forces across a broader area and reduce focal pressure on delicate neural structures.

Design & Configuration

The flat, broad blade geometry offers uniform contact against brain tissue to minimize point pressure and tissue distortion. The 28 cm overall length gives adequate reach through typical cranial openings and working corridors while keeping the handle clear of the operative field. Blade dimensions of 18 x 22 mm provide a compact but effective contact area useful in both superficial cortical retraction and more confined exposures where controlled, handheld retraction is required.
