Davis Brain Spatula malleable, 7" (17.5 cm) Davis Brain Spatula is 7" in length and comes in a variety of widths to accommodate different cases. This instrument is commonly used in neurology procedures to hold the opening in the brain while operating. The spatula is also malleable, which allows it to bend and fit the size or depth of the operated brain. Following the conclusion of the surgery, a small hammer is used to strike the spatula in order to restore it to its initial shape.
