Clinical Application
Designed for neurosurgical retraction and exposure, this malleable brain spatula provides a low‑profile, atraumatic interface between surgical instruments and cortical or subcortical tissue. It is used to create and maintain a working corridor during tumor resection, hematoma evacuation, AVM access, microvascular decompression, and other cranial procedures where controlled, gentle retraction is required.
Design & Configuration
The double-ended, malleable design allows the surgeon to contour the blade to the curvature of the cortical surface intraoperatively, reducing focal pressure and improving distribution of retracting forces. Having two usable ends minimizes instrument exchanges, and the flat spatula geometry offers broad contact area for atraumatic tissue separation and stabilization within narrow operative fields.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Brain spatula (retraction blade)
- Pattern / model: Davis
- Configuration: Double-ended, malleable
- Size: 25x178 mm
- Tip: Flat spatula blade for low‑pressure retraction
- Typical use: Cortical and subcortical retraction in cranial surgery
- Material: Malleable surgical‑grade stainless steel
- Reusable: Intended for repeated use with appropriate sterilization protocols
Material & Construction
Constructed from malleable surgical‑grade stainless steel to permit predictable bending and retention of contour. The smooth, flat blade surface is optimized to distribute retraction forces and minimize tissue trauma. The instrument is supplied as a reusable device suitable for standard sterile processing workflows.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
