Description

The Western Pigtail Probe is a specialized instrument used in ophthalmic procedures, particularly in lacrimal duct surgeries. It is designed to aid in the exploration and dilation of lacrimal ducts and canaliculi. The pigtail probe features a curved shaft with a rounded, pigtail-shaped tip, which allows for gentle probing and manipulation of the lacrimal system. The instrument is typically made of stainless steel (SS) for durability and easy sterilization. The Western Pigtail Probe is commonly used to assess the patency of the lacrimal ducts, remove obstructions, and facilitate proper tear drainage. It is an important tool for ophthalmologists and oculoplastic surgeons involved in lacrimal duct surgeries and procedures.
