Stock Cyclodialysis Spatula

Description

Stock Cyclodialysis Spatula

The Stock cyclodialysis spatula is a plain, flat blade on a slim handle. Its job is gentle separation and sweeping near the iris and angle. Just one fixed Stock pattern exists, ready to slot into your anterior segment set.

The Stock blade profile

The blade is flat and thin, with smooth edges. That shape slides between tissue layers rather than cutting them. Also check the photo to see its exact length and angle before you order.

Teaching with a simple spatula

Simple tools make good teaching tools. A resident can learn how a flat blade feels in the chamber before moving to finer ones. Also, its plain form makes it easy to inspect and explain.

What the Stock spatula handles

Use it for:

• Sweeping strands from the chamber
• Easing the iris back into place
• Light work along the angle

Sterilizing a thin Stock blade

Thin blades heat and cool fast in the autoclave. Even so, they bend if heavier tools rest on them. Therefore, place the spatula in its own slot or on top of the tray.

Stock compared with the Wecker

Both are single-pattern spatulas. The Wecker leans toward iris work, while the Stock is a plain all-rounder. So many teams keep the Stock as a general blade and add others for special tasks.
