Clinical Application
Designed for precise tactile exploration in soft-tissue procedures, this probe is used to identify, follow, and delineate tracts and cavities such as fistulae, sinuses, and wound channels. The fine spear point facilitates localization and retrieval of small foreign bodies and aids in assessing patency or depth of a tract prior to definitive repair or closure. Its length is suitable for deeper cavities encountered in general surgery, ENT, oral/maxillofacial, and minor procedure settings.
Design & Configuration
The instrument features a slender, elongated shaft terminating in a 2 mm spear point to provide a focused contact surface and improved directional control during probing. The tapered spear geometry reduces tissue resistance and minimizes disruption while allowing the operator to palpate and trace narrow tracts. The 18 cm overall length offers reach for deeper exploration without sacrificing handling or tactile feedback.
