Spatulas designed to manipulate and/or dissect brain tissue during surgical procedures. These devices typically consist of a metallic (e.g., stainless steel) handheld instrument with a straight or curved very thin, flat, blunt distal tip. Some brain spatulas are flexible and include a silicone coating to make their use less traumatic to the delicate brain tissue. Dedicated very small and delicate brain spatulas are also available for microsurgical procedures.
