Barraquer Iris Spatula – Precision Ophthalmic Instrument
The Barraquer iris spatula is a specialized surgical tool that ophthalmic surgeons use for manipulating iris tissue during procedures such as cataract surgery and iris repair. The instrument’s flat tip allows the surgeon to gently reposition the iris without causing unnecessary trauma to the delicate tissue .
The 0.50 mm tip width provides a fine profile for precise manipulation in the confined space of the anterior chamber. Furthermore, the 12.5 cm overall length offers optimal balance and reach under the surgical microscope. The knurled, round handle ensures a secure, non-slip grip during delicate maneuvers .

Medical Applications
Surgeons select the Barraquer iris spatula for iris manipulation during cataract surgery, iris repair, and other anterior segment procedures. The flat tip allows the surgeon to gently reposition the iris or free it from adhesions without damaging the tissue.

Durable Stainless Steel Design
Manufacturers construct the instrument from surgical-grade stainless steel, which resists corrosion and holds up across repeated sterilization cycles . The flat tip maintains its shape over time, ensuring reliable performance for iris manipulation. (Learn more about ophthalmic surgery from Wikipedia).
