Clinical Application
Designed for atraumatic exploration and lumen interrogation, this probe is used to assess patency, follow fistulous tracts, and guide instrumentation or sutures through narrow channels. The buttoned tip reduces the risk of inadvertent tissue penetration, making it suitable for lacrimal, ENT, and general surgical applications where controlled blunt probing and gentle dilation are required.
Design & Configuration
The double-ended buttoned configuration provides procedural versatility and extended reach within a compact instrument profile. A 2 mm buttoned tip offers a blunt, rounded contact surface to minimize tissue trauma while transmitting tactile feedback to the operator. The 14 cm overall length balances reach for superficial to moderately deep tracts with control for precise maneuvering.
