Clinical Application
This slender, spear-point probe is designed for tactile exploration and guidance in confined anatomical spaces. Common applications include tracing sinus tracts and fistulae, assessing the depth and direction of wound channels, locating foreign bodies, and assisting in the passage of sutures, guidewires, or drains. It is useful across specialties such as general surgery, ENT, plastic/reconstructive surgery, dental/maxillofacial procedures, and minor procedures in clinics and ambulatory surgery centers.
Design & Configuration
The spear-point tip provides a narrow, symmetric profile that facilitates entry into small lumens and tract openings while preserving tactile feedback for the operator. A 2 mm tip diameter balances slender access with sufficient rigidity for controlled probing. The 13 cm shaft length offers reach for deeper tracts without sacrificing manual control. The single-ended hand configuration enables precise directional assessment and manipulation during exploration.
