Pulmonary spatulas are surgical instruments usually made of stainless steel comprising a handle proximally and a flat blade with no sharp edge at the distal tip, with the shaft or blade varying in configuration from straight, curved or angled as it progresses distally. These instruments are used to manipulate pulmonary tissue, surfaces or vessels during thoracic surgery.
