Sklar Brain Spatula, Malleable 11mm 13mm
A 7 inch malleable retractor blade with 11mm and 13mm width sections, used to gently hold back brain tissue during neurosurgical procedures, for use in hospitals and surgical centers.
The Sklar Brain Spatula is a neurosurgical retracting instrument made from malleable metal, allowing the surgeon to bend the blade into the exact shape needed to hold brain tissue gently aside and maintain exposure of the surgical field during a craniotomy or related procedure. At 7 inches overall with 11mm and 13mm width sections, it offers two working widths on the one instrument.
Because brain tissue is delicate and easily injured by excessive pressure, spatulas of this type are shaped and sized to spread the retraction force over a broader, smoother surface than a rigid retractor blade. This listing covers four variants within the brain spatula line, giving the neurosurgical team a range of sizes to match the exposure needed for different cranial approaches.
It is intended for use by trained neurosurgical staff and is a core component of the craniotomy instrument tray.
