Sklar Theobald Fish Sinus Probe, Sterling
A 6 inch sterling silver probe used to explore the sinus passages, helping ENT clinicians assess drainage pathways during sinus procedures.
The Sklar Theobald, also known as the Fish, Sinus Probe is a fine, blunt tipped instrument used to explore the sinus passages and assess drainage pathways during ear, nose and throat examination or surgery. Its slender, six inch profile lets the clinician advance it gently along a sinus ostium or passage to check patency or locate an obstruction without causing trauma to the delicate mucosal lining.
Made from sterling silver, a traditional choice for probes of this kind because of its smooth surface finish, it gives fine tactile feedback as it moves through narrow anatomical spaces. Sinus probes are used in ENT clinics and operating theatres during both diagnostic examination and functional sinus surgery, helping the surgeon confirm anatomy before proceeding with more invasive steps.
ENT surgeons and specialist nurses are the typical users. As a reusable instrument, it is cleaned and sterilized between patients following the clinic's standard reprocessing protocol.
