Grooved Director w/probe 13cm

Clinical Application

A grooved director with an integrated probe is used to control and protect underlying structures when making precise incisions, to guide scalpel blades along a defined path, and to explore or delineate fistulae, sinuses, and wound tracts. The instrument is commonly used in general surgery, ENT, plastic and reconstructive procedures, minor procedures in outpatient clinics, and any setting where a controlled, shallow incision over a palpable or visualized structure is required. The integral probe allows blunt exploration and tract delineation without changing instruments, facilitating tasks such as drain placement or suture passage.

Design & Configuration

The grooved leading edge provides a channel that seats a scalpel blade or other instrument, limiting lateral slip and helping maintain a consistent incision depth and trajectory. The straight, single-ended shaft gives predictable hand positioning and reach; a 13 cm overall length balances access to deeper wounds while remaining maneuverable in confined operative fields. The integrated blunt probe tip permits atraumatic exploration and localization prior to sharp dissection, reducing instrument exchanges and helping protect underlying tissues during cutting.

Instrument Specifications

• Pattern: Grooved director with integral probe
• Length: 13 cm overall
• Tip: Grooved guidance surface with blunt probe end for exploration
• Primary uses: guided incision, tract exploration, drain and suture guidance
• Construction: reusable surgical instrument

Material & Construction

Manufactured from corrosion-resistant surgical stainless steel for durability and repeated sterilization. The grooved surface is finished to provide a secure seat for a scalpel blade while minimizing tissue snagging; the probe tip is formed blunt to reduce the risk of inadvertent tissue penetration during exploration. Instruments are designed for repeated use and compatible with standard sterilization processes.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.

Brand Comparison

Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
