Buie Fistula Probe heavy model 13.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for exploration and assessment of fistulous tracts and sinus passages, this heavy Buie probe is used in colorectal and general surgery to define tract length and direction, confirm patency, and assist in safe placement of setons or guidewires. Its blunt, atraumatic tip minimizes additional tissue disruption while enabling tactile feedback to help locate internal openings prior to definitive repair or excision.

Design & Configuration

The heavy-model configuration provides a stiffer shaft compared with standard probes, improving pushability through resistant or partially collapsed tracts while maintaining control during blind exploration. A straight, solid construction with a tapered blunt tip offers a balance of reach and tactile feedback; the smooth profile reduces snagging on mucosa and granulation tissue, facilitating atraumatic passage and accurate tract delineation.
