Frequently asked questions
Does the silver material ensure durability?
Yes, the Sklar Bowman Lacrimal Probe is constructed from high-quality silver, selected for its reliability in surgical environments. As a reusable instrument, it is engineered to meet Sklar’s rigorous professional standards, ensuring it can withstand repeated clinical use.
Is the probe truly malleable for delicate procedures?
Absolutely. The probe is specifically designed as a thin, bendable rod, which grants clinicians the necessary flexibility to navigate the lacrimal system with precision and control during delicate procedures.
Can I trust the grip during surgery?
The instrument features a specialized tongue-tie handle located at its center. This design provides a secure, ergonomic grip for the clinician, ensuring stability and comfort during complex maneuvers.
Are the tips safe for the lacrimal system?
Yes, the probe is designed with atraumatic, rounded ends. These smooth tips are engineered to minimize tissue trauma during insertion and navigation within the nasolacrimal ducts.
Does the double-ended design improve procedural efficiency?
It significantly enhances versatility. By combining a Size 7 (1.8mm) and a Size 8 (1.9mm) tip on a single instrument, surgeons can switch sizes instantly, reducing the need to swap tools during a procedure.

What is the total length of the instrument?
The probe features a standard surgical length of 5-1/2 inches, providing an ideal balance between reach and manual control.
Do the tips have markings for easy identification?
Yes, for added convenience, the central handle is embossed with the numerals ‘7’ and ‘8’, clearly identifying the tip sizes on each end to help the clinician select the correct side quickly.
Is this probe ready to use out of the package?
This instrument is shipped non-sterile. Please ensure it undergoes the appropriate cleaning and sterilization protocols required by your facility’s infection control standards before its first use.
