The Atlas™ Choice Tapered Patties are made for the microneurosurgeon to maximize protection in the most confined operative corridors. These patties are designed to offer exceptional pliability to gently "hug" the brain tissue without compromising visibility. The Atlas™ Choice Tapered patties are used for a wide array of microsurgical procedures including posterior fossa surgery, skull base surgery, aneurysm surgery, microvascular decompression surgery, interhemispheric craniotomies, intraventricular surgery, acoustic neuroma surgery, bypass procedures, and more. Atlas™ Choice patties are made in the U.S.A. and are of the highest quality material. 

The tapered patties allow dynamic retraction under the shaft of the suction without the obstructive buckling of the edges of the traditional thick square-shaped patties. The combination of unparalleled flexibility, thinness and tapered shape of this class of patties provides the surgeon with great advantages to work within small operative spaces seamlessly. The variety in the shape of these patties assist with different microdissection strategies.
