Frequently asked questions
Does the malleable design allow for custom shaping?
Yes, this instrument is specifically designed to be malleable. You can carefully shape and contour the spatula during surgical procedures to achieve optimal positioning and gentle retraction, meeting the specific anatomical needs of the patient.
