About This Product
Ingredients are placed on a clean ointment slab, pill tile or other non-absorbent surface, and the blade is worked with controlled pressure and repeated strokes to mix, spread or levigate them until uniform. Finely divided powders can be worked into a base in this way. The finished preparation is then collected with the spatula and transferred to a suitable container, and the tool is cleaned promptly after use. The Ointment Spatula is available for supply within India and for export to Bahamas, Laos, Iceland, São Tomé and Príncipe and Senegal.
