Explanation

A bladder blade is a medical tool used during surgery. It's a thin, flat instrument that doctors use to gently push organs, like the bladder, out of the way so they can safely operate on other areas. This tool helps to protect these organs from accidental injury during the procedure. It's called a "blade" because of its shape, but it's not sharp like a knife.
