Ophthalmology Barraquer Iris Spatula 0.25mm Wide Tip

The Barraquer Iris Spatula is a precision ophthalmic instrument designed for delicate manipulation and positioning of ocular tissues during eye surgery. Its narrow 0.25 mm wide tip provides a fine working profile suitable for microsurgical environments where controlled tissue handling is required.

Design and Configuration

The instrument features a slender spatula-style working end with a 0.25 mm wide tip. The Barraquer pattern is intended to provide a controlled contact surface for delicate ophthalmic manipulation while maintaining access to confined surgical areas.

Working-End Characteristics

The 0.25 mm wide tip provides a narrow working profile for precise positioning and gentle manipulation. Its spatula configuration is suitable for applications requiring controlled contact with delicate ocular structures.

Ophthalmic Surgical Applications

The Barraquer Iris Spatula may be used in compatible ophthalmic procedures involving delicate tissue manipulation, positioning, or separation. It is particularly suited to microsurgical settings where a fine, narrow working end is beneficial.

Handling and Use Considerations

Use the instrument with appropriate microsurgical technique and controlled movements. Inspect the working tip before use to ensure it is straight, smooth, and free from visible damage.

Cleaning and Instrument Care

After use, clean the instrument according to the applicable instrument-care protocol. Pay particular attention to the fine working tip during cleaning and inspection to prevent damage or deformation.
