The Maumenee Barraquer Vitreous Sweep Spatula Right is a specialized ophthalmic surgical instrument designed for controlled manipulation and sweeping of vitreous and associated tissues during compatible ophthalmic procedures. Its right-sided configuration provides a specific working orientation for clinicians who require a right-hand vitreous sweep spatula within a microsurgical instrument set.
This instrument features a 10mm angled working tip with an indentation on the right side and a gently curved blade. These features provide a defined working profile for controlled manual manipulation in delicate ophthalmic surgical environments. Published ophthalmic instrument references identify the right-sided version with a 10mm angled tip, right-side indentation, gently curved or slightly vaulted blade, and round knurled handle.
The right-side indentation is an important identifying characteristic of this model. It differentiates the instrument from the corresponding left-sided Maumenee-Barraquer vitreous sweep spatula and allows ophthalmic professionals to select the appropriate configuration for their surgical set. Catalog references also list the instrument with an overall length of approximately 119–120mm, depending on the manufacturer and specific configuration.
The gently curved blade provides a defined contact surface while the angled tip supports controlled positioning within the operative field. The round knurled handle is designed to provide a secure manual grip and controlled instrument handling during delicate microsurgical work. The instrument may be incorporated into compatible vitreoretinal and ophthalmic surgical sets where a right-sided vitreous sweep configuration is required.
The Maumenee-Barraquer Vitreous Sweep Spatula is commonly manufactured in stainless steel in referenced configurations. Exact stainless-steel grade, surface finish, blade thickness, and handle dimensions may vary according to the manufacturer and should be confirmed against the specific product specification.
Because the working end is intended for precision ophthalmic manipulation, the instrument should be inspected before use. The angled tip, curved blade, indentation, and handle should be checked for visible damage, deformation, corrosion, or other defects that could affect instrument performance.
When supplied as a reusable instrument, cleaning, inspection, and sterilization should be performed according to the manufacturer’s validated instructions and the healthcare facility’s established reprocessing protocol. Device references identify Maumenee-Barraquer vitreous sweep configurations as reusable ocular spatula/manipulator instruments.
The Maumenee-Barraquer Vitreous Sweep Spatula Right combines a right-sided indentation, angled 10mm working tip, gently curved blade, and round knurled handle in a compact ophthalmic microsurgical design. It is a practical addition to professional ophthalmic instrument sets requiring a dedicated right-sided vitreous sweep spatula.
