Sklar Pratt Rectal Probe, Sterling Shaft, 11 Inch
An 11 inch rectal probe from Sklar with a sterling shaft, used by colorectal surgeons to explore and assess tissue during rectal and anal examinations.
The Sklar Pratt Rectal Probe is a colorectal instrument used to explore the rectal and anal canal, helping the surgeon assess tissue, trace a fistula tract or check the depth and direction of a passage before proceeding with treatment. The instrument has a sterling shaft measuring 8 inches within an overall length of 11 inches, giving the surgeon a smooth, controllable tool suited to the sensitive tissue involved in anorectal examination.
A gentle, blunt tipped probe like this allows careful exploration without the risk of creating a false passage or causing unnecessary trauma to the anal canal. Colorectal surgeons, general surgeons and gastroenterologists performing anorectal assessments or minor procedures use instruments of this kind as a standard part of their examination and surgical toolkit.
Colorectal surgery units and general surgical departments treating anorectal conditions typically keep a rectal probe of this design readily available for both diagnostic assessment and intraoperative use.
