The Neurosurgery Surgical Woodson Elevator & Spatula – Double Ended, 10″ (Titanium) is a high-performance microsurgical instrument engineered for neurosurgeons who require exceptional precision during delicate surgical procedures. Manufactured from premium medical-grade titanium, this double-ended instrument combines the functionality of an elevator and a spatula, allowing surgeons to perform multiple microsurgical tasks with a single instrument.
The elevator end is designed for controlled tissue elevation, periosteal separation, and gentle mobilization of delicate anatomical structures. The spatula end provides a broad, smooth working surface for tissue retraction, blunt dissection, and precise manipulation in confined operative fields. Together, these two working ends improve procedural efficiency by reducing instrument exchanges during surgery.
The 10-inch overall length offers excellent reach for deep operative fields while maintaining outstanding balance and tactile sensitivity. This extended profile allows surgeons to access difficult anatomical regions with confidence while preserving precise control during microscope-assisted procedures.
Constructed from lightweight titanium, the instrument is significantly lighter than comparable stainless steel alternatives, helping reduce hand fatigue during prolonged surgical cases. Titanium also offers outstanding corrosion resistance, exceptional strength, and excellent durability throughout repeated sterilization cycles.
The ergonomic handle provides a secure, comfortable grip that enhances precision and minimizes slippage. A satin, non-reflective titanium finish reduces glare from operating lights and surgical microscopes, improving visualization throughout complex neurosurgical procedures.
Designed for professional surgical use, the Titanium Woodson Elevator & Spatula is fully reusable and autoclavable, making it an indispensable instrument for neurosurgery, skull base surgery, spinal microsurgery, neurovascular procedures, and advanced microsurgical instrument sets.
