Myrtle Leaf Probe 2mm, 16cm

Clinical Application

This handheld probe is designed for atraumatic exploration and gentle dilation of narrow lumens and soft‑tissue planes. The 2 mm leaf‑shaped tip allows clinicians to identify and follow small channels, verify patency, and create controlled blunt dissections without sharp cutting. Typical applications include lacrimal and sinonasal probing, probing of scar tracts or fistulae, and use as an introducer or guide for small cannulas or sutures in confined operative fields.

Design & Configuration

The 2 mm leaf profile provides a broad, flattened contact surface that spreads pressure over tissue to minimize puncture risk while permitting precise tactile feedback. The 16 cm shaft length affords reach into deeper cavities and working channels while maintaining manual control at the proximal end. The slender geometry facilitates navigation through narrow passages and allows the surgeon to follow anatomic planes with reduced tissue trauma compared with pointed probes.
