A Wecker Spatula is a surgical instrument designed for ophthalmology to lift, separate, dissect or manipulate delicate tissues of the eye like the conjunctiva or cornea.
- Thin, flat blade with rounded tip
- 3 mm wide blade
- Designed for ophthalmology, great for microdissection
This Wecker spatula has a fine, narrow blade. It has a solid square handle for a secure grip. This spatula can be sterilized with a chemical sterilant or by autoclaving. Always clean the surgical instruments promptly after use to ensure they last a long time.
The design of the Wecker Spatula allows for precise manipulation and dissection. In a research laboratory, the fine blade of the Wecker spatula makes it ideal for microdissection, which involves the precise isolation and removal of small tissue samples or specific structures under a microscope.
Its fine blade allows for precise cutting and manipulation without causing significant damage to surrounding tissues. Or, the Wecker Spatula can be used to isolate individual cells or small clusters of cells from a heterogeneous population. By gently scraping or lifting targeted cells, researchers can separate them for further analysis. Or, you could use the Wecker Spatula to remove unwanted debris, contaminants, or non-specific tissue components from a sample.
