| Description | Used for optimal tissue manipulation and controlled fluid absorption to facilitate flap alignment and adhesion. Made with polypropylene handle and highly absorbent PVA material. | .60 x 20.0mm (23 G x 13/16 in), angled 45°, 10 mm from end. Flattened .30 mm, 1 mm from tip. Used after ablation to wash away particulate from anterior & posterior sides of flap & stromal bed. | Unique design provides a large area for scraping the corneal epithelium prior to excimer laser treatment. | Used after relalignment. Acts as a squeegee to remove excess fluid from the interface, smooths flap, & removes folds. Designed to create a tight gutter for tissue adhesion. | Thin, smooth bottom edge for gently scraping away the epithelium. Spatula tip & top are slightly sharpened to facilitate more aggressive scraping. |
