Krayenbuhl Probe Button

Description

Krayenbuhl Probe Button

The Krayenbuhl probe has a rounded button at its tip and no cutting edge. Neurosurgeons use it to explore tissue, test planes and move fine structures without cutting them.

A blunt, rounded end

The button tip spreads contact over a small, smooth surface. Therefore the probe slides along vessels and nerves instead of catching on them. That makes it a safe tool for feeling structures the surgeon cannot fully see.

One 18 cm size

We list the Krayenbuhl probe at 18 cm. That length suits microsurgery with the hand braced near the wound. For button diameter or tip angle, please contact us, since catalogs vary on those details.

Typical moments to use it

Surgeons often reach for a button probe when they need to check what lies behind a structure. For instance, they may pass it around a vessel before placing a clip. Also, it can lift a nerve gently so another instrument can work beneath it.

Choosing a probe

Probes come in many tip shapes, and each surgeon has favorites. So if your team likes the Krayenbuhl pattern, order a spare as well. Otherwise, compare it with the Jacobson probes in our range.

Caring for your Krayenbuhl probe

Rinse the button tip after each case and wipe it clean. Then check that the tip remains smooth, because a nick could catch tissue. Finally, dry the probe and sterilize it with your micro set.
