Grooved Director with button probe 14cm

Clinical Application

A grooved director with a rounded button probe provides controlled guidance for scalpel incisions while protecting deeper structures. The grooved surface is used to direct a blade along a predetermined path for precise superficial and subcutaneous incisions, and the blunt button probe is used to atraumatically explore wounds, fistula tracts, and cavities or to locate and protect tubular structures prior to incision. Common applications include minor surgical procedures, dermatologic excisions, ENT pocket dissections, and selected reconstructive or wound-care tasks where protection of underlying tissue and accurate incision placement are priorities.

Design & Configuration

The straight grooved profile creates a stable channel that seats a scalpel blade, allowing the operator to control depth and direction of the cut and reducing the risk of inadvertent deep penetration. The integrated button probe provides a blunt, rounded tip for atraumatic exploration of tracts and cavities and can be used to tent tissue away from critical structures before incision. The 14 cm length offers extended reach into deeper pockets or wounds compared with shorter directors while maintaining manual control and tactile feedback.
