The Barraquer Iris Spatula 25mm Wide Tip is a specialized ophthalmic surgical instrument designed for gentle and controlled manipulation of the iris and adjacent intraocular tissues. Its broad 25mm working tip provides a wider contact surface than narrower iris spatulas, making it useful when controlled tissue positioning or stabilization is required during delicate eye surgery. The instrument is suited for ophthalmic surgical environments where precision, tactile control, and atraumatic handling are essential.
The wide spatula tip allows the surgeon to apply controlled pressure across a broader area rather than concentrating force at a small point. This design can assist with positioning and manipulating the iris during procedures where careful tissue handling is required. The Barraquer-style configuration is commonly associated with microsurgical ophthalmic instruments intended for fine intraocular work.
The 25mm wide tip provides a practical working surface for surgeons who require consistent contact with delicate ocular structures. Its smooth, carefully finished profile is intended to support atraumatic manipulation and reduce unnecessary tissue disruption when the instrument is used with appropriate surgical technique. The balanced design also allows the instrument to be guided accurately under magnification.
This iris spatula can be used in a range of ophthalmic procedures involving iris manipulation, repositioning, or stabilization. Potential applications include cataract surgery, anterior segment procedures, iris repair and other microsurgical techniques where controlled movement of the iris is necessary. Its broad tip may be particularly useful when the surgeon needs greater surface contact during tissue positioning.
For professional ophthalmic instrument use, the working surface should have a smooth finish without burrs, sharp unintended edges, or surface irregularities. The instrument is manufactured for repeated clinical use and can be incorporated into standard ophthalmic surgical instrument sets when compatible with the facility’s sterilization and maintenance protocols. High-quality surgical stainless steel construction provides strength, corrosion resistance, and the durability required for routine instrument handling and reprocessing.
Proper cleaning and sterilization are essential for maintaining the performance and longevity of the Barraquer Iris Spatula. After use, the instrument should be promptly cleaned according to the healthcare facility’s validated instrument-processing procedure. Particular attention should be given to removing biological material from the working end before sterilization. The spatula should then be inspected for cleanliness, surface damage, bending, or other abnormalities before being returned to service.
The Barraquer Iris Spatula 25mm Wide Tip is a practical addition to ophthalmic surgical instrument collections for facilities requiring dependable tools for delicate iris manipulation. Its broad working tip, precise construction, and reusable design make it suitable for professional ophthalmic settings where controlled tissue handling is a priority.
