Probe Buttoned D/E 2mm, 11.5cm

Clinical Application

Buttoned probes are used for controlled, blunt interrogation of soft-tissue tracts, lumens and canals where a rounded tip reduces the risk of perforation. Typical applications include probing fistulae and sinus tracts, assessing patency of small ducts or lacrimal passages, guiding suture placement through tunnels, and gentle dilation or blunt dissection in ENT, ophthalmic, plastic and general soft-tissue procedures. The 2 mm button tip provides a tactile, atraumatic interface with tissue while the 11.5 cm length offers reach and control in confined operative fields.

Design & Configuration

The double-ended configuration provides two working ends to minimize instrument exchanges and allow bidirectional access without repositioning the field. A rounded, buttoned tip disperses contact pressure across the surface to reduce tissue trauma compared with sharp probes, and it facilitates tactile feedback for surgeons assessing tract continuity and patency. The 11.5 cm shaft balances reach with ergonomic control for fine intraoperative maneuvers.
