Sklar Larry Rectal Probe, 7 Inch
A 7 inch probe used to gently explore the rectal canal during colorectal examination, fistula assessment or other minor anorectal procedures.
The Sklar Larry Rectal Probe is a slim surgical instrument measuring 7 inches, designed for gentle exploration of the rectal canal and surrounding anorectal structures. Its smooth, blunt profile allows the clinician to trace the path of a fistula tract, check the depth or direction of an opening, or generally assess the anatomy of the area before proceeding with a more involved procedure, without the risk of injury that a sharper instrument would carry in this sensitive area.
This makes it a useful diagnostic and preparatory tool ahead of procedures such as fistula repair or hemorrhoid treatment, where understanding the local anatomy first supports a safer, more accurate surgical plan. Colorectal surgeons, general surgeons and gastroenterologists use rectal probes of this kind in outpatient clinics and minor procedure settings as well as in the operating theatre.
As a reusable instrument that contacts mucosal tissue, it must be thoroughly cleaned and sterilized between patients according to standard reprocessing protocols before every use, with the tip checked to confirm it remains smooth.
