Nélaton Probes & Directors – Surgical Probe & Director – 02-430-16

16 cm
Two centimeters might not sound like much, but in a director probe, that difference decides whether the instrument reaches the target plane or falls short. The Nélaton probe, sized here at 16 cm, sits a step longer than its 14 cm counterpart, making it the better choice for deeper incisions or procedures where the surgeon needs more shaft to work with before the grooved tip reaches the field.
Like other instruments in this family, the Nélaton probe combines a blunt, non-piercing tip with a longitudinal groove that guides a blade or ligature along a predetermined line. Surgeons reach for this style of instrument specifically to avoid the guesswork of freehand cutting near sensitive structures—the groove does the steering, and the surgeon controls the depth and angle.
What sets this size apart:
16cm overall length for deeper surgical access
Blunt, rounded tip designed for tissue exploration
Longitudinal groove for guided incision or ligature placement
Surgical stainless steel, fully autoclavable
