What Is a Malleable Abdominal Spatula Used For?
During open abdominal operations the assistant bends the blade to the curve the wound needs and uses it to hold fat, muscle or bowel away from the operative field, improving the surgeon's access and view. The rounded ends and smooth, flat blade present no sharp corners to the tissue being held.
Shape the blade gradually by hand rather than kinking it, and check it for creases or surface damage after each case. The item must be cleaned and disinfected after each use and then sterilised in a steam steriliser. Hospitals buying from a laboratory instruments supplier in India often include one in each general-surgery set.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity per theatre or instrument set
- Confirmation that the approx. 25 x 250 mm size suits your procedures
- Companion retractors, such as Collin or Balfour abdominal retractors
