Slade LASIK Retreatment Spatula: Precision for Corneal Flap Management

The Slade LASIK retreatment spatula is a specialized instrument designed for the delicate manipulation of corneal flaps during secondary procedures. Featuring a 4 3/4 vaulted shaft and semi-sharp edges, this tool provides surgeons with the necessary control to safely lift and reposition flaps without causing excessive tissue trauma. The 12.0mm distance from bend to tip ensures optimal reach and visibility within the operating room environment. Constructed for durability and precision, it serves as an essential component in modern ophthalmic surgical kits, supporting high-quality patient outcomes in laser vision correction retreatments.

• Lifting existing corneal flaps during LASIK enhancement or retreatment procedures.
• Repositioning flaps after epithelial ingrowth removal or other secondary interventions.
• Providing precise tactile feedback when separating adherent flap interfaces.
• Minimizing tissue damage through controlled, semi-sharp edge engagement.

Specifications

• Inspect the semi-sharp edges before each use to ensure they remain intact and free from burrs that could damage corneal tissue.
• Clean thoroughly using enzymatic detergents followed by ultrasonic cleaning to remove all biological debris from the vaulted shaft.
• Sterilize according to hospital protocols, typically via steam autoclaving, ensuring proper packaging to prevent contamination.
• Store in a protective sleeve or case to maintain the alignment of the vaulted shaft and protect the working end.
