Clinical Application
This buttoned, double-ended probe is intended for atraumatic exploration and negotiation of narrow lumens, fistula tracts, sinuses and cannulation pathways where a blunt, rounded tip is required to minimize tissue injury. The 2 mm buttoned tip provides a smooth, atraumatic leading surface for identifying tract direction, dilating stenotic segments, passing guidewires or stents, and assisting in suture passage during reconstructive or ENT procedures. The 25 cm length supports access to deeper anatomical areas without the need for improvised extensions.
Design & Configuration
The rounded (buttoned) tip reduces point pressure and the risk of perforation when negotiating delicate cavities. A double-ended configuration increases intraoperative versatility by offering two working ends without exchanging instruments, which is useful when alternating tip orientation or working length is required. The 25 cm overall length balances reach and tactile control for both superficial and deeper tract work.
