Clinical Application
This probe is engineered for atraumatic exploration of small tissue tracts and lumens. Its buttoned tip profile minimizes the risk of tissue perforation or snagging, making it useful for exploring fistulae, checking canal or duct patency, identifying tract direction, and guiding suture passage or dilators in delicate procedures.
Design & Configuration
The double-ended (D/E) buttoned configuration provides bidirectional access without instrument exchange, increasing procedural efficiency. The small 1 mm rounded button tip presents a blunt, atraumatic leading surface that glides through soft tissue and narrow passages, helping clinicians probe paths while reducing iatrogenic trauma. The 11.5 cm overall length balances reach and control for use in confined surgical fields.
