Jacobson Buttoned probe ball tiped 19cm

Clinical Application

Designed for atraumatic probing and exploration, this ball-tipped probe is used to identify, traverse and gently dilate narrow lumens and tracts. Typical applications include lacrimal system probing and syringing in ophthalmology, atraumatic exploration of fistulae or sinus tracts, and controlled tactile assessment of confined cavities in ENT and general surgical procedures. The rounded button tip minimizes mucosal trauma and reduces the risk of perforation while allowing the surgeon to maintain tactile feedback.

Design & Configuration

The rounded (button) tip provides a blunt, atraumatic endpoint that slides smoothly through delicate tissues and small ducts without catching. The single-ended, slender shaft preserves tactile sensitivity so the operator can feel resistance changes and locate obstructions or anatomical transitions. At 19 cm overall length the instrument gives additional reach for deeper passages and intranasal or orbital approaches where a longer working length is required.
