The Obstbaum Lens Spatula 25mm Blade is a specialized ophthalmic surgical instrument designed for controlled manual manipulation of the lens and surrounding tissues during compatible microsurgical procedures. Its fine angled blade provides a narrow, defined working surface suited to delicate ophthalmic instrument handling.
The key identifying feature of this instrument is its 0.25mm wide angled blade. Although the product title states “25mm Blade,” published instrument specifications identify the Obstbaum Lens Spatula as having a 0.25mm wide angled blade. This distinction is important when selecting or cataloging the instrument.
The angled configuration provides a defined working orientation that can assist with controlled positioning within the surgical field. The fine blade width offers a compact contact surface for precise manual manipulation, making the instrument suitable for ophthalmic microsurgical sets where a narrow lens spatula is required.
The Obstbaum Lens Spatula is intended for use by qualified ophthalmic professionals in appropriate clinical environments. It may be incorporated into cataract and other compatible ophthalmic microsurgical instrument sets according to the requirements of the procedure. The exact shaft length, handle configuration, blade length, blade thickness, and overall dimensions are not established by the product title and should be confirmed against the specific manufacturer’s specification.
Referenced device information classifies the Obstbaum Lens Spatula as a reusable ocular hook, spatula, or manipulator. The instrument should therefore be inspected carefully before use, particularly around the fine angled working blade, to ensure that it remains properly aligned and free from visible damage, corrosion, or deformation.
The instrument is designed for precision ophthalmic handling and should be maintained accordingly. If supplied as a reusable configuration, cleaning, inspection, and sterilization should be performed according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s established reprocessing protocol. Always verify the product labeling for applicable reuse and sterilization requirements.
The Obstbaum Lens Spatula offers a fine, angled working profile for controlled ophthalmic manipulation. Its 0.25mm blade specification and specialized Obstbaum pattern make it a useful addition to professional ophthalmic microsurgical instrument sets requiring a narrow lens spatula.
