A spatula is a specialized medical instrument used to remove skin cancers. This is a simple but effective device that allows you to remove tumor tissue without damaging surrounding healthy tissue.
Treatment of benign skin tumors can also be done using a spatula. The blades are available in different shapes such as straight and curved shapes to suit the size and shape of the growth. The materials used to make paddles range from metal to plastic. Metal is stronger and more durable, while plastic is more flexible and easy to use. In some cases, there is a choice between a hard and rubber handle, which also affects the ease of use of the spatula.
The technique of using a spatula to remove a tumor may involve treating the entire layer of skin in the area of the tumor, and not just the area that is visible on the surface. Doctors can perform this operation using disposable or reusable specimens for each tumor. Each device must have a special coating to ensure hygiene and prevent the transmission of infections.
