Lockhart-Mummery fistula probe 45° curved

Controlled Access for Fistula Examination

The Lockhart-Mummery fistula probe 45º curved is a general surgery probe designed for examining and following fistulous pathways during procedural assessment. Its defined 45º curve supports a controlled approach where a straight instrument may be less convenient, helping the user direct the probe through the working area with deliberate handling. As part of the dilator and probe instrument family, it provides a focused tool for fistula-related tasks without adding unnecessary complexity to the surgical setup. The purpose-specific design can support consistent instrument selection and practical workflow organization in general surgery environments.

Use Cases

• Explore and follow fistulous pathways during general surgery procedures.
• Use the 45º curved profile when a directed approach is appropriate for the working area.
• Support procedural assessment of fistula anatomy with a purpose-specific probe.
• Include in a general surgery instrument setup for fistula examination and related probing tasks.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the probe according to the facility’s validated protocol and applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the 45º curved section before and after use for visible damage, deformation, or residue.
• Handle the curved probe carefully during use, cleaning, and transport to preserve its intended shape.
• Store it in a manner that protects the probe from bending, impact, and contamination.
