An intravascular probe, single-use is a slender, hand-held surgical instrument designed to be inserted into a blood vessel through a small incision. It is used to locate blockages, assess vessel size and patency, explore arterial segments for stenosis, and temporarily occlude blood flow to improve visualization during vascular bypass or repair procedures.
As a single-use device, it is intended for one procedure and then discarded. It is typically constructed from materials such as polyester or silicone and may feature a blunt, bulbous tip (olive) at one or both ends. Regulatory oversight applies to each individual device based on its design and intended use, with classification varying by jurisdiction.
