Barr Rectal Probe w/eye at tip 23cm

Clinical Application

This slender probe is intended for proctologic and colorectal use where safe, controlled passage into the rectum is required. The device aids in digital examination, identification and probing of fistulous tracts or strictures, guidance for dilation procedures, and controlled placement or retrieval of sutures, threads, or drainage material through the distal eyelet. It is suited for use in outpatient clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and operative suites for diagnostic and minor therapeutic anorectal procedures.

Design & Configuration

The 23 cm length provides reach into the rectum and lower sigmoid without excessive shaft length, facilitating one-handed control and tactile feedback. A smooth, rounded distal tip minimizes mucosal trauma during insertion, while the integrated eyelet at the tip permits secure passage of suture, thread, or fine tubing for traction, tie-downs, or guided placement. The straight rod geometry allows predictable orientation and straightforward withdrawal or advancement during inspection, probing, or dilation guidance.
