Clinical Application
Designed for controlled tactile exploration of small lumens, sinus tracts and fistulae, this probe is used to determine tract direction, verify patency, and guide suture or catheter placement in confined surgical fields. Its dimensions make it suitable for outpatient procedures and operating room cases across specialties such as ENT, general and plastic surgery where precise, atraumatic probing is required.
Design & Configuration
The loop handle provides a secure, ergonomic grip that improves fine motor control and tactile feedback during probing maneuvers. A straight, slender shaft allows access into narrow or shallow channels while minimizing obstruction of the visual field. The blunt, atraumatic tip reduces the risk of iatrogenic perforation when mapping tract paths or passing sutures and catheters through delicate tissues.
