Neurosurgical probes are handheld, angled instruments used during brain surgery to carefully explore or separate delicate tissues. Clinically, they assist in procedures like tumor removal, cyst drainage, or creating openings in the brain’s ventricles, helping surgeons navigate with precision while minimizing damage to surrounding structures.
These devices are typically reusable and must be sterilized before each use. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their surgical risk and intended use, often requiring compliance with medical device safety standards for reusable surgical tools.
