The 5 7/8” Paton Spatula & Spoon 6x15mm Grooved Spoon Blade is a precision ophthalmic microsurgical instrument designed for controlled tissue handling during compatible ophthalmic procedures. It combines spatula and spoon-style functionality in a single instrument, providing versatility for delicate intraocular tissue manipulation where careful positioning and gentle contact are required.
This Paton pattern instrument measures 5 7/8 inches in overall length, providing a practical balance between reach and manual control in the surgical field. The working end incorporates a 6 x 15mm grooved spoon blade, offering a defined contact surface for controlled tissue support, manipulation, or positioning. The groove is an important part of the working-end configuration and helps distinguish this instrument from a conventional flat ophthalmic spatula.
The combined spatula and spoon design makes the instrument suitable for ophthalmic microsurgical instrument sets where different working-end functions may be required. Its spoon-style blade provides a broader contact area than a narrow pick or hook, while the spatula configuration supports precise handling in confined surgical spaces. The exact tip profile, groove depth, shaft geometry, and handle configuration are not specified beyond the product title and should be verified against the applicable instrument specification.
The instrument is intended for professional ophthalmic use by appropriately trained healthcare personnel. Its 5 7/8-inch length provides sufficient working reach while maintaining a compact profile suitable for microsurgical instrumentation. The 6 x 15mm blade specification identifies the designated working dimensions and should not be interpreted as the overall instrument dimensions.
Constructed from surgical-grade instrument material, the Paton Spatula & Spoon is designed for durability and repeated professional handling when supplied and labeled as a reusable instrument. The working surface should be inspected before each use to ensure that the spoon blade and grooved area remain free from visible damage, deformation, corrosion, or contamination. Proper care helps preserve the instrument’s working characteristics and overall service life.
For cleaning and sterilization, follow the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s established reprocessing protocol. Reusable instruments should be appropriately cleaned, inspected, packaged, and sterilized using validated processes suitable for the instrument material and configuration.
The 5 7/8″ Paton Spatula & Spoon is a practical addition to ophthalmic microsurgical sets requiring a grooved spoon-style working end with spatula functionality. Its defined 6 x 15mm blade configuration and compact overall length make it suitable for professional ophthalmic instrument collections where controlled and precise tissue handling is required.
