Sklar Lockhart-Mummery Probe, Angled
An angled probe used to explore and trace fistula or sinus tracts during colorectal and general surgical procedures.
The Sklar Lockhart-Mummery Probe is a slender, angled surgical probe used to gently follow the course of a fistula tract or sinus tract so the surgeon can understand its path before deciding how to treat it. This is a routine step in fistula in ano surgery and other procedures involving abnormal tracts, where accurately tracing the tract helps the surgeon avoid damaging surrounding structures such as the anal sphincter.
The angled tip gives the surgeon a better approach angle when probing tracts that do not run in a straight line from the skin surface, improving the chance of following the tract without creating a false passage. Colorectal surgeons and general surgeons use this probe as a standard part of their fistula and sinus tract instrument set, often together with a fistula hook or grooved director.
This particular row measures 6-1/2 inches, and the listing covers several variants for teams that need a different length or angle. As a reusable stainless probe, it is cleaned and sterilised between cases like the rest of the surgical set.
