Sklar Barraquer Cyclodialysis Spatula, 15mm Angled Blade
A 12cm ophthalmic spatula with a 0.50mm round shaft and a 15mm angled, smooth pointed blade, used to separate tissue planes during glaucoma surgery. It is supplied for repeated sterilization and reuse in hospital and clinic settings.
50mm diameter round shaft leading to a 15mm angled blade with a smooth, pointed tip, used to separate tissue planes within the eye during cyclodialysis and other glaucoma related procedures. The smooth, blunt point is designed to slide between tissue layers such as the ciliary body and sclera without cutting them, creating or exploring a surgical cleft used to improve aqueous outflow in certain glaucoma treatments.
The angled blade geometry gives the surgeon a natural approach to the curved internal surfaces of the eye, allowing controlled, gentle dissection under microscope or operating loupe visualisation. This spatula is used specifically by ophthalmic surgeons performing glaucoma surgery, and it is typically kept in a dedicated glaucoma or anterior segment surgical tray alongside related fine instruments.
As a precision ophthalmic tool, it is handled and reprocessed with the same careful protocols applied to other delicate intraocular instruments.
