Abstract
In order to achieve as uniform a distribution of pressure as possible during the application to the brain of a brain spatula with a band-like strip consisting of a pliable and inherently stable material it is suggested that the strip be enveloped by a soft, elastically deformable material which projects laterally beyond the strip at the side edges of the strip and the deformability of which increases from the side edges of the strip towards the edge of the soft material.
