Double Ended Probe W/ Eye, Malleable

The malleable probe is a versatile and essential surgical instrument used primarily for safe tissue exploration, tract identification, and pathway navigation during various surgical procedures. This particular model, known as the Double Ended Probe with Eye, offers additional functionality and flexibility, making it suitable for use in general surgery, ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) procedures, and colorectal surgeries.

Constructed from high-quality surgical-grade stainless steel, the malleable probe is designed for durability, corrosion resistance, and autoclavable sterilization, ensuring it can be used repeatedly in sterile environments. Its most defining feature is its malleability, allowing the probe to be bent or shaped manually to follow the specific contours of soft tissues or anatomical pathways during surgery. This feature is especially useful when exploring curved or difficult-to-reach tracts within the body.

Each end of the malleable probe features a slightly rounded, blunt tip with an eye (loop opening). The eyelet design allows for the passage of sutures, drainage materials, or guide wires, providing multi-functional capability during surgical procedures. Surgeons often use this probe to trace fistulas, sinus tracts, or drainage channels, and to help guide surgical instruments along identified paths.

In the middle stages of the procedure, the malleable probe can be carefully adjusted by the surgeon to better conform to the patient’s anatomy. This adjustability ensures safe exploration without exerting unnecessary force on surrounding tissues.

Additionally, the double-ended design provides convenience by offering two working ends, eliminating the need to switch instruments during the operation. Its slim, ergonomic shaft allows for precise handling and effective control during delicate procedures.

In conclusion, the malleable probe with its double-ended and eyelet design remains a crucial tool for surgeons requiring safe navigation, tissue exploration, and procedural guidance. Its flexibility, stainless steel construction, and reusable design make the malleable probe a valued instrument in many surgical disciplines worldwide.
