Product Overview
Williams Lacrimal Probe is an exploratory and canalization ophthalmic instrument built for investigating tear duct blockages and establishing ductal patency in ophthalmic and ENT procedures. Available in multiple variations, it features a central flat thumb plate flanked by two flexible, varying-gauge probes ending in smooth bulbous tips, giving surgeons fine tactile feedback while traversing tortuous lacrimal pathways.
Key Features:
• German stainless steel body resists corrosion and withstands repeated autoclave cycles.
• Smooth bulbous tips allow safe exploration and dilation without perforating ductal walls.
• Central flat plate provides a secure finger rest for steady navigational control.
• Flexible, slender shaft conforms smoothly to natural anatomical curves of the tear canal.
Uses & Applications:
• Dilates and opens occluded puncta and canaliculi during lacrimal duct probing.
• Traces nasolacrimal passages to locate and clear strictures, calculi, or fibrous debris.
• Restores tear drainage pathways in patients undergoing treatment for epiphora or dacryocystitis.
