Frequently asked questions
Is this probe suitable for delicate lacrimal procedures?
Yes, the Sklar Bowman Lacrimal Probe is specifically designed for delicate diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. It features a malleable rod design that allows for careful manipulation, while the smooth, rounded tips are engineered to ensure patient safety during insertion.
Does this tool offer multiple tip sizes for versatility?
Yes, this instrument features a convenient double-ended design. It includes two distinct tip sizes on one tool:
- Size 3: 1.3mm diameter
- Size 4: 1.4mm diameter
Is the probe made from durable, high-quality materials?
Absolutely. This probe is constructed from silver, a high-quality material chosen for its performance in professional clinical environments. It is a reusable, TAA-compliant instrument built for long-term use.
How easy is it to maintain control during use?
The probe is designed with a central “tongue tie” handle. This specific feature serves as a secure, dedicated holding point, allowing the clinician to maintain precise control throughout the procedure.
Is this probe safe for patients with latex allergies?
Yes, the Sklar Bowman Lacrimal Probe is not made with natural rubber latex, making it a safe choice for patients with latex sensitivities.
Does the instrument require specialized cleaning between uses?
As this is a reusable professional medical instrument, it should be processed according to standard clinical protocols for non-sterile, reusable surgical tools. Please note that the device is shipped non-sterile and must be sterilized prior to first use.
What is the total length of this probe?
The instrument measures 5-1/2 inches in length, providing a balanced, slender profile ideal for navigating the nasolacrimal duct.
Are the tip sizes clearly marked for quick identification?
Yes, the instrument features clear numerical engravings (‘3’ and ‘4’) at the central flattened junction, allowing clinicians to quickly identify the tip gauge at either end.
Is this a TAA-compliant product?
Yes, this instrument is fully TAA compliant, meeting the rigorous standards required for use in professional medical facilities.
Is the probe flexible enough for precise navigation?
It is crafted from thin, malleable material. This intentional flexibility is a key selling point, as it provides the necessary give for safe and accurate navigation within the lacrimal system.
