Clinical Application
Designed for safe probing and controlled dilation of narrow lumens, this instrument is used to explore, measure, and prepare tubular anatomy during urologic and gynecologic procedures and in minor operative settings. Typical uses include assessing canal patency, establishing a pathway prior to instrumentation, verifying tract direction and length, and performing graded dilation when used in serial sizes. The atraumatic tip minimizes mucosal trauma during passage.
Design & Configuration
The probe-style shaft and smooth, rounded tip provide tactile feedback and a low-friction glide through soft tissues and strictures. Options for single- or double-ended designs allow clinicians to choose a single working end or paired diameters on one instrument for rapid escalation of size. A straight or gently contoured profile facilitates alignment with the target canal, while a polished surface reduces resistance and eases insertion and removal.
