Jaffe Cyclodialysis Spatula

Description

Jaffe Cyclodialysis Spatula

The Jaffe cyclodialysis spatula is a fine, flat blade suited to the lens implant era. It helps with small moves in the chamber, such as nudging an implant or sweeping tissue. It comes in one standard pattern, so ordering stays simple.

Jaffe blade in cataract cases

During lens surgery, small tasks pop up. For example, the iris may drift toward the wound, or an implant edge may need a push. A thin spatula through a side port then handles these moves without a second large opening.

Feel of the Jaffe in the hand

The handle is light, so the tool sits easy between thumb and finger. Because the blade is flat, you can feel when it meets tissue. That feedback helps you stay gentle.

Moves the Jaffe makes easy

It works well for:

• Sweeping iris back from a wound
• Nudging an implant edge into place
• Spreading viscoelastic in a tight spot

Where the Jaffe sits on the tray

Most surgeons keep it near the side-port tools, since that is where it enters. Then it is ready the moment the iris shifts. Also, a fixed spot helps the scrub nurse hand it over fast.

Caring for a slim Jaffe blade

Viscoelastic dries into a film if it sits too long. So rinse the blade straight after use, then brush it. Finally, check the edge under light; a smooth, clean blade glides best.

Ordering the Jaffe spatula

Jaffe spatulas come unsterile, so wash the slim Jaffe blade and sterilize it before the first lens case; after that it returns for many more. Jaffe steel follows our own drawing and also meets ASTM F899. Every Jaffe is guaranteed for three years against manufacturing defects. Jaffe buyers can see related tools in the ophthalmology surgical range, or the Kwitko spatula for another single pattern. Our FAQs help with orders.
