Cushing Vein Retractor Cushing Vein Retractor has a sharply curved blade and is a popular retractor used during neurosurgery or as rib spreaders.

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.

Deaver Retractor - Flat Handle flat handle, flexible Deaver Retractor with a flat handle contains a flexible curved blade that is offered in two different widths and lengths depending on the surgical requirements. During general operations, specifically the involvement of the abdominal or chest cavity, this retractor can allow the surgeon to move one side of the incision to access the area that needs attention. If a deeper section needs to be accessed, the longer and wider blade may be more beneficial.

These side blades are designed to push apart an incision while the ratchet holds the instrument in position.
