Lange Probes

Description

Lange Probes

The Lange probe explores wounds, sinus tracts and fistulas. Its smooth blunt tip slides along a passage, which helps the surgeon find depth and direction without cutting.

A blunt tip

The rounded end follows the existing channel. As a result, it is less likely to create a false passage. Meanwhile, the slim shaft passes through small openings.

What the Lange probe tells you

It shows how deep a wound runs. It also shows where a tract leads. Therefore, the surgeon can plan the next step with more confidence.

Typical uses

General surgeons use it to explore abscess cavities and fistulas. For example, it can trace a pilonidal tract before excision. It also helps check wound depth during dressing changes.

Gentle technique

Hold the probe lightly between finger and thumb. Then let it find its own way along the tract. If you meet resistance, stop and change the angle rather than pushing.

Pairing on the tray

Probes often sit beside grooved directors and fine scissors. Together they let the surgeon trace and then open a tract. A small kit like this suits most minor procedure rooms.

Keeping it straight

Clean along the full shaft and dry it. Store the probe flat so it stays straight. Also, inspect the tip for roughness before reuse.
