Product Overview
The Bowman Lacrimal Probes are specially designed for probing, irrigating, and restoring normal tear flow within the lacrimal drainage system during oculoplastic and dacryocystorhinostomy procedures. Typically inserted through the superior punctum and progressively advanced through the canaliculus to access the nasolacrimal sac, their smooth blunt double-ended tips allow clinicians to navigate and explore the delicate lacrimal drainage anatomy with minimal trauma while facilitating controlled dilation with progressively larger bore sizes.
Crafted from high-quality malleable sterling silver, these probes offer superior flexibility and precise anatomical contouring, allowing surgeons to gently shape the probe to match individual patient lacrimal passage anatomy without compromising the instrument's structural integrity across repeated sterilization cycles. Available in six progressive double-ended size pairs ranging from the finest Size 0000-000 through to the largest Size 7-8, they provide a complete and comprehensive set of probing options to accommodate the full range of lacrimal passage dimensions encountered in clinical and surgical practice.
Key Features of the Bowman Lacrimal Probes:
• Double-ended blunt tip design offering two progressive sizes per probe for efficient and comprehensive lacrimal passage exploration
• Malleable sterling silver construction for superior flexibility and precise anatomical contouring to individual patient lacrimal anatomy
• Available in six progressive size pairs from finest to largest for a complete lacrimal probing solution across all passage dimensions
• Fully reusable and autoclavable for reliable, cost-effective, and hygienic repeated clinical and surgical use
Uses & Applications:
• Probing and irrigation of the lacrimal drainage system to restore normal tear flow in nasolacrimal duct obstruction treatments
• Lacrimal canaliculus and nasolacrimal sac exploration during dacryocystorhinostomy and oculoplastic surgical procedures
• Progressive lacrimal passage dilation prior to intubation or surgical intervention in congenital and acquired lacrimal drainage disorders
