Clinical Application
Designed for atraumatic probing and exploration of narrow lumens and tissue planes, this instrument provides reliable tactile feedback to assess tract patency and guide devices such as cannulas, stents, or drains. The 2 mm leaf-shaped tip offers a broad, low-profile contact surface that reduces the risk of tissue tear or snagging when negotiating delicate structures. The 20 cm working length gives reach into deeper cavities while maintaining control, making it useful in procedures that require precise, gentle probing in confined surgical fields.
Design & Configuration
The leaf-shaped tip geometry distributes contact force across a wider surface than a pointed probe, which minimizes localized pressure and reduces tissue trauma during manipulation. A slim, rigid shaft transmits tactile information from the tip to the operator, improving the surgeon's ability to detect obstructions or subtle changes in resistance. The 20 cm overall length balances depth of access with manual control, allowing placement and guidance in deeper or less accessible tracts without excessive shaft flex or loss of feedback.
