Fistula probe

A fistula probe is a flexible, hand-held surgical instrument with a blunt, bulbous tip, used to explore and widen narrow passages (strictures) within abnormal connections between body parts, such as internal organs or fistulas. Clinically, it helps surgeons assess the anatomy of fistulas and prepare them for further treatment or intervention by gently probing and dilating the affected area.

These devices are typically reusable and designed for surgical use, adhering to strict medical-grade manufacturing standards. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their surgical purpose and risk level, with compliance requirements ensuring safety and sterility for repeated use in clinical settings.
