Abdominal/intestinal spatula

Definition

A hand-held manual surgical instrument designed to manipulate the intestines and organs of the abdomen during a surgical intervention in the abdominal cavity. It typically consists of a large, flat, blunt blade (no sharp edges) at the distal end and a strong handle at the proximal end. It is usually made of high-grade stainless steel and is available with a variety of blade designs (e.g., curved and flat or straight and flat with a rounded end, or right-angled); some blade types may have a serrated surface to help retain the slippery abdominal tissues. The handle is typically designed to provide a non-slip grip. This is a reusable device.
