Product Overview
The 732 Lacrimal Pigtail Probe series represents a line of hyper-precision ophthalmic microsurgical instruments characterized by their curved pigtail geometry, hand-polished atraumatic blunt tips, and a rigid tactile handle. Engineered to operate with complete predictability during complex lacrimal system reconstructions following facial trauma, this instrument acts as a physical tracking guide. Forged from high-tensile surgical steel, the smooth, micro-curved loop is explicitly engineered to enter one punctum, glide safely through the uninjured canalicular system, cross the lacrimal sac, and emerge from the opposing severed canaliculus. This allows the surgeon to pull a silicone intubation stent or suture through the entire system, restoring normal anatomical tear drainage with ultimate structural safety.
Key Features
-
Anatomically Calibrated Pigtail Curve: Features a highly specialized, micro-curved circular sweep. This precise geometry conforms seamlessly to the natural internal curvature of the human canalicular pathways, enabling smooth rotation without stretching adjacent tissues.
-
Atraumatic Micro-Bulbous Tips: The probe ends are meticulously hand-polished into rounded, blunt tips. This structural configuration ensures the instrument glides effortlessly over delicate mucosal linings and structures without causing false passages, internal lacerations, or structural punctal tears.
-
Rigid Center-Grip Handle Platform: Designed with a balanced tactile handle integrated directly into the center of the dual-ended architecture. This non-slip zone absorbs micro-tremors, prevents rotational slipping inside the surgical glove, and translates delicate feedback directly to the surgeon’s fingertips as the probe advances.
-
Glance-Free Satin Finish: Hand-beveled with an anti-reflective satin coating that dampens the intense illumination of surgical headlights or microscopes, minimizing visual glare and maximizing procedural clarity.
-
Surgical-Grade Resilience: Manufactured from premium, hardened stainless steel. It is built to maintain its hyper-precise curved loop dimensions, tip integrity, and structural rigidity through thousands of high-heat sterilization cycles.
