General Information:
The traditional reusable Spackman Cannula is liked by clinicians but gives great difficulty to Sterile Services who have to try and clean a long narrow cannula with a closed end.
To combat concerns over cleanliness SUS have produced single use versions of the instrument by matching the geometry of a reusable for equivalent uterine manipulation capability, but improving the clamp action.
SUS provide two choices of Spackman Cannula dependant upon the users requirements:
• S030 – Movable acorn Spackman Cannula
• S029 – Fixed acorn Spackman Cannula
NHS Code: FSW 344
