Product Overview
The Wheeler Spatula is a specialized microsurgical instrument characterized by its ultra-thin, flattened blade and a delicate, vaulted shaft. It is the primary choice for surgeons performing cyclodialysis procedures or manipulating intraocular structures during complex cataract and iris repairs. Forged from high-tensile surgical steel, it ensures a “dead-lock” on the anatomical plane while remaining slender enough to pass through a micro-incision without distorting the corneal architecture.
Key Features
-
“Beast-Reach” Micro-Spatulated Tip: The distal end features a precision-flattened blade with rounded, atraumatic edges. This provides the mechanical authority to create a cleft in the suprachoroidal space without the risk of puncturing the globe or damaging the iris.
-
“Liquid-Smooth” Vaulted Shaft: The shaft is engineered with a specific curvature that allows the clinician to navigate over the iris and into the angle of the eye without obstructing the view through the surgical microscope.
-
High-Tactile Balance: The solid stainless steel construction provides immediate transmission of tactile feedback. This ensures the surgeon can feel the transition from the sclera to the ciliary body, maintaining a “dead-lock” on surgical safety.
-
Ergonomic “Steady-Hand” Handle: Features a lightweight, knurled handle designed for a precision “pencil-grip.” This ensures the instrument remains stationary in the hand, allowing for controlled, incremental movements in the anterior chamber.
-
Surgical-Grade Resilience: Manufactured from premium, hardened stainless steel. It is built to maintain its blade geometry and shaft alignment through thousands of high-heat sterilization cycles.
