Buie Fistula Probe light model 13.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for atraumatic exploration and delineation of sinus and fistula tracts, this illuminated Buie-style fistula probe assists surgeons in identifying tract direction, locating internal or external openings, and guiding seton or drain placement. The slender, rounded tip minimizes tissue disruption during probing in perianal, cutaneous, and simple sinus tract procedures.

Design & Configuration

The probe combines a slim, rigid shaft with an atraumatic rounded tip to pass through narrow tracts while reducing risk of false passage or mucosal injury. Integrated illumination projects light toward the tip to assist intraoperative localization of the tract and to confirm communication with adjacent surfaces or lumens without excessive manipulation. The 13.5 cm working length provides reach for typical perianal and superficial sinus tracts while remaining manageable in confined operative fields.

Instrument Specifications

• Type: Buie-style fistula probe (illuminated)
• Working length: 13.5 cm
• Tip: atraumatic rounded tip for gentle tract exploration
• Function: tract localization, seton/drain guidance, sinus probing
• Illumination: integrated fiber-optic light delivery to tip
• Reusable design suitable for standard sterilization workflows

Material & Construction

The probe features a corrosion-resistant stainless steel shaft paired with integrated fiber-optic illumination internally routed to the distal tip. The sealed construction of the illuminated channel facilitates cleaning and sterilization while protecting optical components from fluids. The atraumatic tip geometry is machined to a smooth finish to reduce tissue drag during passage.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
