Probe Buttoned D/E 1mm, 18cm

Clinical Application

This double-ended buttoned probe provides a small, atraumatic 1 mm rounded tip designed for safe exploration of narrow lumens, fistulae and sinus tracts. Its slender profile and 18 cm length allow surgeons to establish tract direction, assess depth, bluntly dissect or pass sutures and small catheters without sharp ends that can perforate delicate tissues. It is useful across specialties for tasks that require controlled, low-trauma probing—for example in ENT, minor general surgery, plastic/reconstructive procedures and lacrimal or periocular work where a rounded button tip minimizes snagging.

Design & Configuration

The double-ended configuration increases intraoperative versatility by providing two working ends without changing instruments. The buttoned tip geometry reduces sharp edges and distributes contact pressure to lower the risk of tissue perforation and tearing during exploration. An 18 cm shaft length provides reach for deeper tracts while maintaining tactile feedback for the surgeon. The smooth shaft and atraumatic tip facilitate passage through narrow channels and make the instrument easy to manipulate in confined operative fields.
