Davis Brain Spatula d/e malleable 19x178mm

Clinical Application

Designed for delicate elevation and sustained retraction of cortical tissue, the Davis brain spatula is used to expose operative fields in cranial procedures such as tumor resections, arachnoid dissections, hematoma evacuations, and other open neurosurgical approaches. The flat blade profile provides a broad, low-pressure surface for atraumatic handling of the cortex and superficial subcortical structures, helping maintain exposure while minimizing focal pressure injury.

Design & Configuration

The double-ended, malleable configuration offers two working ends that can be shaped intraoperatively to conform to local anatomy. Malleability allows the surgeon or assistant to curve the blade to follow sulcal contours or create a gentle retraction arc without transferring concentrated force to a single point. The 19 x 178 mm blade geometry provides a balance of width for tissue support and length for reach into deeper exposures typical in cranial work.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Brain spatula (retraction spatula)
• Pattern / model: Davis
• Configuration: double-ended (d/e), malleable
• Dimensions: 19 x 178 mm
• Typical use: cortical elevation and retraction in open neurosurgery
• Reusable construction suitable for standard sterilization processes

Material & Construction

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel and engineered for reusable use. The malleable construction enables controlled bending while retaining structural integrity for repeated clinical use. Surface finish and edge treatment are optimized to provide a smooth, atraumatic contact surface appropriate for cortical retraction.

Quality & Compliance

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

Brand Comparison

Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
