Clinical Application
A chisel-tip probe provides controlled tactile feedback for exploration and limited tissue manipulation in a range of operative settings. This instrument is intended for probing fistulae and sinus tracts, verifying canal patency, performing gentle scraping or debridement of localized tissue, and assisting in blunt dissection where a low-profile scraping edge is advantageous. The narrow 2 mm chisel tip permits focused work in confined spaces while minimizing collateral trauma compared with larger cutting instruments.
Design & Configuration
The instrument's long, slender shaft and low-profile chisel tip are configured to reach into deeper cavities and narrow tracts while maintaining a controlled working edge. The chisel geometry provides a flat scraping surface rather than a rounded or pointed probe tip, which allows the surgeon to shear or lift adhesions and remove small amounts of tissue or debris with precision. The straight shaft supports direct tactile feedback and alignment during probing and limited undermining maneuvers.
