Ocular hook/spatula/manipulator, single-use

Ocular hook/spatula/manipulator devices are single-use surgical tools designed for precise manipulation of eye structures during procedures like cataract surgery, corneal flap lifting (e.g., LASIK), or intraocular lens (IOL) placement. Their blunt, non-cutting tips gently retract tissues, split lens nuclei, or assist in foreign body removal without damaging delicate ocular anatomy.

These devices are typically classified as single-use medical instruments, meaning they are intended for one-time use only to maintain sterility and patient safety. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally subject to medical device standards ensuring proper design, labeling, and manufacturing controls—though classification (e.g., risk level) depends on the specific device and its intended use.
