Clinical Application
This slender probing instrument is intended for atraumatic exploration of narrow anatomical tracts and lumens. Typical uses include tracing fistula or sinus tracts, verifying patency of ducts or shunts, guiding suture or guidewire material through confined passages, and determining depth and direction of a channel prior to instrumentation. The small 2 mm eyelet allows the operator to thread suture, vessel loops or guide material through the probe for controlled passage without repeated instrument exchanges.
Design & Configuration
The single-ended shaft provides a long, narrow profile suitable for reaching deeper or less accessible sites while maintaining tactile feedback. The integrated eyelet at the tip offers a secure passage point for suture or guide threads, reducing the need to manipulate tissue while passing material. The 25 cm overall length balances reach and control for use in general surgery, ENT, minor procedures and other settings where deeper access is required.

Material & Construction
The instrument features a nickel-silver plated finish that provides a smooth, low-friction surface aiding atraumatic passage and easing tissue contact. The plating also enhances surface durability during repeated clinical use and routine reprocessing. Constructed for reuse, it should be cleaned and sterilized according to facility protocols and instrument manufacturer guidance.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
