Clinical Application
This probe is intended for atraumatic exploration and negotiation of narrow or blind tracts during surgical and clinical procedures. The buttoned (rounded) terminus minimizes mucosal and soft‑tissue trauma when advancing through sinuses, fistulae, ducts, or surgical tunnels. The integrated eyelet permits passage of suture, ligature, guidewire, or drain over the probe to facilitate placement or tract conversion into a controlled access channel. With a 25 cm shaft and a low‑profile 2 mm flat tip, the instrument provides reach and tactile feedback for deeper cavities and confined spaces.
Design & Configuration
The buttoned tip provides a blunt, rounded leading surface that resists snagging on friable tissue and helps bluntly dissect along a tract. The flat 2 mm end offers a small, broad contact area that aids in sensing resistance and negotiating constricted segments without concentrating pressure on a single point. The incorporated eyelet near the tip allows secure threading of suture or a guide element while keeping the tip atraumatic. The 25 cm length supplies additional working reach for procedures that require access beyond superficial zones.
