The Castro Cyclo Spatula 1 x 16mm Blade is a specialized ophthalmic surgical instrument designed for controlled manipulation of tissue during compatible ophthalmic procedures. Featuring a 1 x 16mm blade, this spatula provides a defined working surface that supports precise manual handling in delicate surgical environments.
The Castro pattern is associated with microsurgical ophthalmic instrumentation where controlled instrument movement and accurate tissue contact are important. The spatula-style blade provides a relatively broad contact area compared with narrow-pointed instruments, allowing the surgeon to perform careful manipulation while maintaining controlled handling. The 1 x 16mm blade specification clearly identifies the working dimensions of this particular configuration.
This instrument may be used in ophthalmic surgical settings where a cyclo spatula is appropriate to the procedure and surgeon preference. Its design makes it suitable for inclusion in ophthalmic microsurgical instrument sets and specialized eye surgery trays. The defined blade profile helps provide predictable contact during manual manipulation without relying on unnecessary bulk.
The instrument is manufactured for professional medical use and is designed to support the requirements of precision ophthalmic instrumentation. Its construction is typically based on surgical-grade instrument material selected for strength, durability, and resistance to routine clinical handling. The exact alloy, finish, shaft dimensions, handle configuration, and overall length may vary by manufacturer and should be confirmed against the applicable product specification.
The 1 x 16mm blade size is useful when a specific working-surface dimension is required for a compatible ophthalmic application. Maintaining the correct blade size and instrument configuration is important when organizing microsurgical sets, replacing individual instruments, or matching an existing surgical tray.
For reusable configurations, proper cleaning, inspection, and sterilization are essential for maintaining instrument performance and service life. The blade should be inspected before use for surface damage, distortion, corrosion, or other abnormalities. Reprocessing should always follow the validated manufacturer’s instructions and the healthcare facility’s established sterilization protocol. Product labeling should also be consulted to confirm whether the specific configuration is reusable or intended for another use classification.
The Castro Cyclo Spatula 1 x 16mm Blade is a practical choice for ophthalmic facilities seeking a dedicated spatula-style instrument with a clearly defined blade size. Its compact working dimensions, controlled handling characteristics, and compatibility with ophthalmic microsurgical sets make it a useful addition to professional surgical instrumentation.
