Ziegler Trabecular Probe

Description

Ziegler Trabecular Probe

The Ziegler trabecular probe suits glaucoma surgery near the eye’s drainage angle. You can order figure 1/2, 3/4 or 5/6. Each figure pair names a size, so you can build a set that covers the range you need.

Understanding the figures

Each option lists two figures, such as 1/2. On paired probes, that usually means one size at each end. So one tool gives you two sizes. If you need more of the range, add the next pair.

Which pair to start with

• Figure 1/2 for the finest work
• A 3/4 pair for a middle size
• The 5/6 pair when you need a larger size
• All three if you want a full set on one tray

Where the probe works

The drainage angle sits where the cornea meets the iris. In some glaucoma operations, such as trabeculotomy, a fine probe passes through this region to open a path for fluid. Still, methods vary, and surgeons follow their own approach.

A tool for trained hands

This is a specialist probe. It suits glaucoma and pediatric eye surgeons who already know the technique. If you have used another trabecular probe before, compare the feel before a live case.

Ziegler figure rack and rinse

Probes this fine bend easily. Therefore, keep them in a rack with each figure marked. Then rinse, dry and inspect the tips under magnification after every use.

Every Ziegler figure ships non-sterile; once you have cleaned and sterilized it, it can go back on the tray. The probes use stainless that meets ASTM F899. Each Ziegler figure pair comes with Intrace cover lasting three years against manufacturing defects; Ziegler probes ship with that promise.
