A reusable salivary gland dilator is a specialized surgical instrument designed to widen the ducts or canals of the salivary glands. These metal, rod-like tools are primarily used by surgeons during ear, nose, and throat procedures to prepare a passage for the later insertion of a catheter.
These instruments are designed for repeated use and must be properly cleaned and sterilized between patients. They feature a slender, elongated body with a rounded tip to safely navigate delicate anatomical structures during diagnostic or interventional tasks.
