Clinical Application
Designed for controlled probing and exploration of fistulous tracts and confined soft‑tissue spaces, this Emmet fistula hook is used to identify and delineate tract pathways, isolate sutures or small drains, and assist in creating or enlarging small openings during lacrimal, ophthalmic, ENT, reconstructive, and minor general surgical procedures. Its narrow profile aids access in deep or narrow cavities while allowing precise tissue handling with minimal collateral disruption.
Design & Configuration
The single‑ended hook geometry provides a focused point of contact for atraumatic probing and gentle retraction. The slender shaft transmits fine tactile feedback to the operator, permitting controlled entry into delicate tracts and accurate manipulation of sutures or drains. At 22 cm overall length, the instrument provides extended reach for deeper access while maintaining balance for one‑handed use.
