Yes, this instrument is constructed from high-grade stainless steel. This choice of material ensures the spatula is robust enough to withstand the rigors of repeated, daily sterilization cycles in a clinical environment.
Is the double-ended design useful for varied procedures?

Yes, the Sklar Aachen Brain Spatula is specifically engineered for intracranial surgical procedures, such as tumor removal. It is designed to provide the precise, gentle, and controlled retraction required when working with sensitive brain tissue.
Does the design allow for effective handheld control?
The spatula features a malleable, handheld design that prioritizes surgeon control. The instrument is crafted to be balanced, facilitating the careful and steady maneuvers required during delicate neurosurgical interventions.
Is this instrument safe for patients with latex allergies?
Yes. This product is explicitly not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safer and appropriate choice for patients who may have latex sensitivities or allergies.

With an overall length of 8 inches (approximately 200mm), this spatula provides an ideal balance of reach and leverage, allowing for effective positioning within the intracranial workspace without compromising precision.
