Ophthalmic spatulas and manipulators are surgical instruments that are used during eye surgery to manipulate and position delicate tissue. They are typically made of stainless steel and come in a variety of shapes and sizes, depending on the specific surgical procedure being performed.

Some common types of ophthalmic spatulas and manipulators include:

  1. Sinskey hooks: These are small, curved instruments with a blunt tip that are used to manipulate the lens during cataract surgery.
  2. Maloney dilators: These are thin, flat instruments that are used to dilate the punctum (the opening in the eyelid that allows tears to drain) during procedures such as dacryocystorhinostomy.
  3. Jameson muscle hooks: These are small, blunt hooks that are used to hook and manipulate eye muscles during strabismus surgery.
  4. Lester hooks: These are small, curved hooks with a pointed tip that are used to manipulate and position the iris during certain types of glaucoma surgery.
  5. Kelman-McPherson spatula: This is a thin, flat instrument with a curved tip that is used to manipulate the lens during cataract surgery.
  6. Bonn forceps: These are small, delicate forceps with a curved tip that are used to manipulate the cornea during certain types of corneal surgery.

Overall, ophthalmic spatulas and manipulators play a crucial role in ensuring that eye surgery is performed safely and effectively, allowing surgeons to manipulate delicate tissue with precision and care.
