Hirschmann Cyclodialysis Spatula

Description

Hirschmann Cyclodialysis Spatula

The Hirschmann cyclodialysis spatula is a classic flat blade for the anterior chamber. It has a single fixed pattern with smooth edges. Use it to separate, sweep or guide tissue where a sharp tool would do harm.

Smooth edges by design on the Hirschmann

A spatula should push, not slice. So the Hirschmann keeps smooth edges along its blade. That lets you work close to the iris, lens or angle with less risk of a cut.

Where the Hirschmann name fits

Several old eye tools carry the Hirschmann name. Details on this pattern vary by source, so we keep our claims simple: it is a flat, thin cyclodialysis blade. Check the photo for the exact shape and angle.

Hirschmann spatula tasks

Use it to:

• Sweep the angle gently
• Free light iris adhesions
• Guide tissue away from a wound

Hirschmann as a backup blade

Even a well-stocked tray can run short when a spatula drops. Therefore, many units keep a plain pattern like this one as a spare. It is simple to learn, so anyone on the team can pick it up.

Inspection before each case list

Before a surgery list, check the blade in good light. Look for bends, burrs and stains. Also run a gloved finger along the edge, because a raised mark you can feel will also catch tissue.

Hirschmann order details

Hirschmann blades leave us unsterile; after a full Hirschmann wash and sterilization cycle the spatula is ready, and it stays usable for later lists. Hirschmann steel conforms to ASTM F899. Our promise on the Hirschmann covers three years against manufacturing defects.
