Description

The Ball Tipped Probe is designed for probing, palpation, and exploration during spinal and neurosurgical procedures. Its rounded ball tip provides a smooth working surface for checking anatomical structures and surgical pathways while allowing the user to maintain good tactile control.

The instrument has a slender shaft with a polished ball tip, making it useful for exploring tissue planes, anatomical landmarks, pedicle tracts, and other areas where a smooth probing surface is preferred. The rounded tip allows the probe to be moved through the working area without the sharper edges of a conventional probe.

At 23 cm (9″) long, the instrument provides a useful balance between reach and maneuverability. It is available with three ball diameters: 3 mm, 2 mm, and 1.5 mm. The 3 mm ball is the regular pattern, the 2 mm ball is the medium pattern, and the 1.5 mm ball is the fine pattern for more focused exploration.

Each ball size is available with 4 mm, 6 mm, and 8 mm tip lengths. This gives the user several combinations to choose from depending on the anatomy and the amount of access required. The smaller ball and shorter tip options provide a more focused working end, while the larger combinations offer a little more surface and reach.

It is made from surgical-grade stainless steel and goes through quality control inspection before it is supplied. The instrument is checked for its overall finish and condition, while the ball tip, shaft, and handle are inspected to make sure they are properly finished and secure. These checks help ensure that the instrument is in good working condition before use. The stainless-steel construction also makes it suitable for regular cleaning and maintenance as a reusable surgical instrument.

With its three ball diameters, three tip-length options, slender shaft, and 23 cm length, the Ball Tipped Probe provides surgical teams with a range of configurations for controlled probing and anatomical assessment during spinal and neurosurgical procedures.
