Virchow Brain Knife hollow handle 38cm, Blade size 240mm

Clinical Application

Long-blade dissection instrument intended for neurosurgical procedures that require extended reach and a precise cutting edge. Suited for controlled cortical incisions, deep parenchymal dissections, separation of cerebral tissues, and intraoperative specimen slicing where access into deep cranial cavities or ventricular spaces is necessary.

Design & Configuration

The hollow-handle configuration reduces instrument weight while preserving the stiffness needed for accurate cutting, improving balance and single-handed control during delicate or prolonged procedures. The 240 mm blade length provides extended reach to access deep operative fields without frequent reorientation, supporting smooth, controlled tissue division and specimen retrieval.
