Clinical Application
A long, slim probing instrument with atraumatic buttoned ends for atraumatic exploration and tactile assessment of small lumens, fistulae and sinus tracts. The design enables gentle dilation and patency testing, controlled blunt dissection in confined spaces, and guidance of sutures, drains or stents. This style of probe is commonly used across ophthalmology, ENT, plastic and general surgical procedures where controlled, atraumatic exploration and passage verification are required.
Design & Configuration
The double-ended configuration provides two working tips without changing instruments, improving efficiency in procedures that require alternate sizing or orientation. Each buttoned end reduces the risk of tissue snagging or perforation compared with a pointed tip while preserving tactile feedback for the surgeon. At 20 cm overall length the shaft affords reach into deeper tracts or cavities while maintaining a slender profile for maneuverability in narrow surgical fields.
