Katena K3-3000 Elschnig Cyclodialysis Spatula 1mm Wide Tip Ophthalmology 5"

Katena K3-3000 Elschnig Cyclodialysis Spatula (1mm)

The Katena K3-3000 is a specialized ophthalmic instrument designed for the meticulous blunt dissection required in cyclodialysis procedures. Featuring a 1mm wide, semi-sharp spatula tip, this instrument is the gold standard for separating the ciliary body from the scleral spur to facilitate aqueous drainage in glaucoma surgery.

Constructed from premium-grade stainless steel, the K3-3000 features a satin finish to eliminate distracting reflections under the surgical microscope. The 5-inch (13 cm) overall length and solid flat handle provide the surgeon with exceptional tactile feedback and rotational stability, ensuring that force is applied with absolute precision within the anterior chamber.
