The Ophthalmology Barraquer Iris Spatula 0.25 × 15 mm is a premium ophthalmic microsurgical instrument engineered to deliver superior precision during cataract surgery and advanced anterior segment procedures. Designed with an ultra-fine 0.25 mm wide × 15 mm long spatula blade, this instrument enables ophthalmic surgeons to perform delicate iris manipulation, tissue separation, repositioning, and protection with exceptional control while minimizing trauma to surrounding ocular structures.

In modern ophthalmic microsurgery, precise iris management is essential for maintaining optimal visualization and protecting intraocular tissues. The Barraquer Iris Spatula features an exceptionally narrow spatula blade that smoothly glides beneath or alongside the iris, allowing surgeons to gently elevate, retract, reposition, or separate delicate tissues. The atraumatic blade design reduces the risk of tissue injury while supporting efficient and controlled surgical maneuvers.

The 0.25 mm blade width is specifically intended for microsurgical procedures requiring extreme precision in confined anatomical spaces. Combined with a 15 mm blade length, the instrument provides excellent reach and maneuverability within the anterior chamber, making it particularly valuable during complex cataract surgery, small pupil management, posterior synechiae release, iris prolapse correction, and other delicate anterior segment interventions.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Ophthalmology Barraquer Iris Spatula offers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term clinical reliability. Precision machining ensures smooth blade edges that facilitate atraumatic tissue handling, while the satin matte finish minimizes glare under the operating microscope, improving visualization throughout intricate procedures.

The ergonomically balanced handle provides a secure grip and outstanding tactile feedback, allowing surgeons to perform highly controlled microsurgical movements with confidence. Its lightweight construction minimizes hand fatigue during prolonged operations and enhances instrument stability within the anterior chamber.

The Barraquer Iris Spatula 0.25 × 15 mm is widely used during phacoemulsification, Small Incision Cataract Surgery (SICS), Extracapsular Cataract Extraction (ECCE), iris reconstruction, anterior chamber surgery, and various anterior segment microsurgical procedures. It assists in maintaining optimal surgical exposure, protecting delicate ocular tissues, and facilitating precise intraocular manipulation.

Designed for repeated professional use, the instrument is fully compatible with standard steam autoclave sterilization protocols. Its reusable construction provides excellent long-term value while meeting stringent infection control requirements in hospitals, ophthalmology clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and specialized eye hospitals.

Manufactured to international ophthalmic surgical quality standards, the Ophthalmology Barraquer Iris Spatula 0.25 × 15 mm combines precision engineering, ergonomic comfort, and dependable durability, making it an indispensable tool for ophthalmic surgeons performing advanced microsurgical procedures.
