Clinical Application
Designed for atraumatic exploration and localization of narrow channels, this probe is intended to define the course and depth of sinus tracts, fistulae, and other small lumens and cavities. The built-in eye enables passage of suture, ligature, or a fine guide through a tract for staged instrumentation or closure. Common uses include fistula probing and mapping, passage of drains or guidewires in minor procedures, and intraoperative tract assessment where a thin, smooth instrument is required to minimize tissue trauma.
Design & Configuration
The straight 14 cm length provides reach into deeper superficial tracts while maintaining tactile feedback for the operator. The 2 mm profile balances rigidity with a low-profile cross-section to navigate tight channels. A rounded, atraumatic tip minimizes tissue catch during insertion. The integral eye near the tip permits secure threading of suture or guide materials without additional handling steps, facilitating controlled passage and retrieval in confined spaces.
