Ophthalmic surgical probes are reusable, hand-held tools designed for precise manipulation and exploration of eye tissues during surgery. Clinically, they assist in tasks like lens nucleus splitting, retraction of intraocular structures, or lifting LASIK flaps without cutting or hooking muscles, thanks to their varied tip shapes and flexible or rigid construction.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical instruments, often requiring validation for reuse and sterilization compliance. They’re commonly supplied as standalone tools or as part of surgical sets, with classification and supply rules varying by jurisdiction and manufacturer specifications.
