?:definition
  • Devices designed for introduction into cavities, wounds, or natural tracts and that are intended mainly for exploratory purposes. These devices typically consist of a slender metallic or plastic cylinder with appropriate size for passing through the intended passage that may be attached to a handle at the proximal end. Exploratory probes, which are also known as sounds, can be flexible or rigid. Some probes are also used to locate foreign objects or to measure strictures. Dedicated probes intended for particular areas of the anatomy, such as the eyes, anal fistulas, nasal sinus, urethra, and uterus, or for specific procedures are available. Exploratory probes with one working end or working ends at both ends are available.
