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. Named after the German ophthalmologist Professor Ernst Wecker, the Wecker Spatula has a fine, narrow blade. Our Wecker Spatula is 14 cm (5.5") long and has a solid square handle for a secure grip. It comes with either a 2 mm or 3 mm wide, flat blade with a rounded tip. One is made of surgical grade stainless steel, and the other is manufactured from premium German steel. Both can be sterilized with a chemical sterilant or by autoclaving. Always clean your 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. For example, you can use the Wecker Spatula to carefully separate and isolate specific tissues or structures from the larger sample. 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.
