The Ophthalmology Barraquer Iris Spatula 0.5 × 15 mm is a premium ophthalmic microsurgical instrument engineered for delicate iris manipulation during cataract surgery and other anterior segment procedures. Featuring a finely crafted 0.5 mm wide × 15 mm long spatula blade, this instrument enables ophthalmic surgeons to perform precise tissue elevation, separation, repositioning, and protection while minimizing trauma to fragile intraocular structures.

Maintaining proper iris position is critical during cataract surgery and complex anterior segment procedures. The Barraquer Iris Spatula is specifically designed to provide smooth, controlled manipulation of the iris without causing unnecessary mechanical stress. Its ultra-thin spatula blade easily glides beneath or alongside the iris, allowing surgeons to gently retract tissue, release minor adhesions, reposition prolapsed iris tissue, and maintain optimal surgical exposure throughout the procedure.

The 0.5 mm × 15 mm blade offers an excellent combination of precision and reach. The narrow blade width allows access to confined intraocular spaces, while the extended 15 mm working length provides enhanced maneuverability during microsurgical procedures. This design makes the instrument particularly useful in challenging cases involving small pupils, posterior synechiae, iris prolapse, or other complex anterior segment conditions.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Ophthalmology Barraquer Iris Spatula delivers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and reliable long-term performance. The precision-machined blade features smooth atraumatic edges that protect delicate ocular tissues, while the satin matte finish minimizes glare under the operating microscope, improving surgical visibility and precision.

The ergonomically balanced handle offers a secure grip and superior tactile feedback, allowing surgeons to perform intricate microsurgical movements with confidence. Its lightweight construction reduces hand fatigue during extended procedures and enhances instrument stability within the anterior chamber.

The Barraquer Iris Spatula 0.5 × 15 mm is widely used during phacoemulsification, Small Incision Cataract Surgery (SICS), Extracapsular Cataract Extraction (ECCE), iris reconstruction, anterior chamber surgery, posterior synechiae release, and other anterior segment microsurgical procedures. It assists in protecting the iris, improving visualization, and facilitating safe tissue manipulation throughout surgery.

Designed for repeated professional use, the instrument is fully compatible with standard steam autoclave sterilization protocols. Its reusable construction ensures excellent long-term value for hospitals, ophthalmology clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and specialized eye hospitals while maintaining the highest standards of infection control.

Manufactured to international ophthalmic surgical quality standards, the Ophthalmology Barraquer Iris Spatula 0.5 × 15 mm combines precision engineering, ergonomic comfort, and dependable durability, making it an essential instrument for modern ophthalmic microsurgery.
