Ball probe 9 1/2" angled 90º 2.6mm ball tip round handle

Controlled Access for General Surgical Probing and Dilation

The ball probe is a 9 1/2-inch angled instrument designed for probing and dilation tasks in general surgery. Its 90º configuration supports access along an offset path, while the 2.6mm ball tip provides a defined, rounded contact point for controlled instrument handling. The round handle offers a familiar grip during delicate probing and assessment work. Together, the extended length, angled profile, and ball-ended design can help practitioners work within the operative field while maintaining a practical hand position. As part of the Dilator & Probes category, it supports focused, task-oriented handling where reach and tip profile matter.

Use Cases

• Probe anatomical pathways and openings during general surgical procedures.
• Support controlled dilation tasks where a 2.6mm ball tip is appropriate.
• Use the 90º angle to approach offset or less directly aligned areas.
• Apply the rounded tip for probing tasks requiring a defined, non-sharp contact point.
• Use the 9 1/2-inch length when additional reach within the operative field is useful.

Care & Reprocessing

• Clean and reprocess the instrument according to facility protocols and the applicable instructions for use.
• Inspect the ball tip, angled section, and handle before and after use for visible damage, deformation, or residue.
• Handle the rounded tip carefully to preserve its intended shape and avoid contact with other instruments that could cause damage.
• Store in a clean, protected location where the probe will not be bent or subjected to unnecessary impact.

General use; follow facility protocols.
