The Neurosurgery Olivecrona Spatula 11x13mm, Convex, 7¼″ is a specialized microsurgical instrument developed for safe and controlled manipulation of delicate brain tissue during advanced neurosurgical procedures. Designed with a precision-engineered convex spatula blade measuring 11mm x 13mm and an overall length of 7¼ inches, this instrument provides surgeons with excellent reach, stability, and tactile control during procedures requiring gentle tissue elevation and retraction.

Brain tissue retraction is a critical component of many neurosurgical procedures, requiring instruments that provide adequate exposure while minimizing pressure on sensitive neural structures. The Olivecrona Spatula is designed to distribute retraction force evenly across the tissue surface, helping reduce localized pressure and supporting atraumatic handling during intracranial surgery.

The convex 11mm x 13mm blade design offers a smooth curved surface that conforms naturally to anatomical structures, allowing controlled elevation and support of brain tissue. The convex profile helps maintain stable contact while reducing the risk of sharp pressure points, making it suitable for delicate procedures where tissue preservation and precise visualization are essential.

With an overall length of 7¼ inches (approximately 18.4 cm), this spatula provides an ideal combination of reach and control. The extended shaft allows surgeons to access deeper operative areas while maintaining comfortable hand positioning. This makes it particularly useful in cranial procedures, skull base approaches, tumour resections, vascular surgery, and other microsurgical interventions requiring precise tissue management.

The carefully polished spatula surface provides smooth interaction with delicate neural structures and allows easy repositioning during surgery. The atraumatic design supports gentle manipulation while helping maintain the integrity of surrounding tissues. The instrument’s balanced construction improves tactile feedback, allowing surgeons to make controlled adjustments with confidence.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Neurosurgery Olivecrona Spatula 11x13mm, Convex, 7¼″ delivers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability. The precision-crafted construction maintains accurate blade shape and smooth surface finish through repeated cleaning, disinfection, and steam autoclave sterilization cycles.

The ergonomic handle design provides comfortable grip and excellent control throughout lengthy procedures. Its balanced weight distribution reduces hand fatigue while supporting precise movements required during microsurgical operations. The polished stainless steel finish also facilitates efficient cleaning and compliance with strict surgical hygiene standards.

The Olivecrona Spatula is widely used in cranial surgery, brain tumour procedures, skull base surgery, cerebrovascular surgery, aneurysm clipping, epilepsy surgery, and other advanced neurosurgical applications. Its convex blade design makes it especially valuable when controlled tissue elevation and stable retraction are required to achieve optimal surgical exposure.

Fully reusable and compatible with standard sterilization protocols, this neurosurgical spatula is designed for dependable performance in hospitals, neurosurgical operating rooms, academic medical centres, and specialized surgical facilities. Its precision design, atraumatic blade profile, and durable construction make it an essential instrument for professional neurosurgical collections.
