Probe Buttoned w/eye flat end 2mm, 18cm

Clinical Application

This buttoned probe with an integrated eye and a 2 mm flat end is intended for atraumatic exploration and controlled passage of sutures or guide threads in confined or delicate tissue planes. Common applications include probing fistulous tracts, lacrimal and ductal probing, tissue plane delineation in ENT and plastic surgery, and controlled guidance of suture material during reconstruction or repair. The 18 cm length provides reach into deeper cavities while the blunt "button" tip minimizes perforation risk during tactile exploration.

Design & Configuration

The rounded, buttoned tip provides a blunt, atraumatic contact surface that reduces the likelihood of catching or tearing tissue compared with sharp probes. The flat 2 mm end offers a consistent surface for tactile feedback and gentle dilation when advancing through narrow tracts. An integrated eye positioned proximal to the tip allows reliable passage or retrieval of suture, thread, or fine guide material without requiring additional needle transfer. The single-ended shaft and straight geometry optimize control and directional feel during probing maneuvers.
