Clinical Application
Provides a simple, durable instrument for tactile exploration and tract probing in a variety of surgical settings. The double-ended format allows rapid switching between working ends during procedures where reliable access and assessment of narrow or deep channels is required — for example, probing fistulae, sinuses, ducts or wound tracts, guiding sutures through confined tissue planes, and localizing or assessing small foreign bodies. The 19 cm length gives extended reach for deeper cavities while maintaining control at the handle.
Design & Configuration
The twin (double-ended) configuration delivers two working tips on a single shaft so the operator can change tip orientation without exchanging instruments. The slender shaft preserves tactile feedback, enabling the surgeon to feel tract direction and resistance. Smooth finish and uninterrupted shaft geometry reduce tissue drag and facilitate atraumatic passage within delicate canals and sinuses.
