A lens spoon is a reusable surgical tool designed for ophthalmic procedures, specifically to assist in the removal or manipulation of the eye’s natural lens during cataract surgery or other intraocular operations. Its spoon-shaped tip allows surgeons to grasp and extract lens fragments or implants with precision while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical instruments, often requiring compliance with general medical device safety standards depending on the jurisdiction. They are commonly supplied sterile-packed for single-use in sterile fields, though the reusable nature of the design may influence sterilization protocols and maintenance requirements.
