Bowman Lacrimal Probe

Description

Bowman Lacrimal Probe

Intrace USA engineers the Bowman Lacrimal Probe for careful exploration, dilation, and identification of the lacrimal drainage system during ophthalmic procedures. Each probe is double-ended, with a numbered gauge stamped on the bead at the center of the shaft to identify the size of each tip. The probe is available across 3 reference series (27-360, 27-364, and 27-366) and 9 Fig sizes per series, for 27 total size and series combinations, so surgical teams can match the tip pair to the case at hand. Because every unit goes through inspection before it ships, Intrace USA can back it with dependable, consistent performance.

Key Features of the Bowman Lacrimal Probe

• Double-ended design with a numbered gauge on each tip for quick identification
• Fine, precisely shaped tips for accurate probing with minimal trauma
• Available in matched-end (Fig 0/0 through 8/8) and offset-end (Fig 00/0 through 7/8) configurations
• Durable stainless steel construction for long service life

Who Uses This Instrument, and Why

Ophthalmic and oculoplastic surgeons reach for the Bowman Lacrimal Probe during lacrimal duct exploration and dilation, where the graduated tip sizes let them work up gradually and confirm patency with minimal trauma. Because it comes in so many Fig size and series combinations, professionals can select the exact tip pairing that best fits their patient’s anatomy and the stage of the procedure.

Care and Maintenance

To keep the Bowman Lacrimal Probe performing reliably, clean it promptly after each use following your facility’s protocol, and inspect the fine tips regularly for burrs or bends. Proper sterilization between uses, along with routine inspection, helps preserve both function and lifespan.
