Solid-Phase Bowman Lacrimal Probe (13cm) for Precision Duct ExplorationThe Bowman Lacrimal Probe 13cm is a cornerstone of the professional ophthalmic toolkit, specifically engineered for the stable displacement of obstructions within the lacrimal apparatus. Functioning as a high-performance duct anchor, this 13cm model features a malleable silver or stainless steel construction that allows the surgeon to contour the probe to the patient’s unique anatomical curvature. Adas Instruments ensures that each canalicular shield is balanced for center-point force transmission, providing the practitioner with exquisite tactile feedback when navigating the delicate mucous membranes of the tear duct. By utilizing the Bowman Lacrimal Probe 13cm, practitioners benefit from a wide range of available tip sizes, facilitating a sequential dilation process that minimizes the risk of false passages or tissue tearing. We ship USA, Europe & worldwide via DHL, FedEx, and UPS to deliver German steel instruments that professionals trust for their mechanical precision and anatomical efficiency.Why Ophthalmologists Choose Our Bowman ProbesOpti-Flow Malleability: Features a flexible body to act as a versatile duct anchor, allowing for safe passage through the vertical and horizontal canaliculus.Safe-Guard Navigation: Specifically designed with a 13cm length to function as a reliable canalicular shield, providing the necessary reach to probe through to the inferior nasal meatus.Integrated Thumb Plate: Every Bowman Lacrimal Probe 13cm we produce features a central flattened plate for superior grip and rotation control during the probing procedure.Enduro-Steel Resilience: Forged from high-grade surgical materials, our instrument is engineered to maintain its smooth surface finish and structural integrity through repeated sterilization.Primary Clinical ApplicationsProbing and clearing nasolacrimal duct obstructions using the Bowman Lacrimal Probe 13cm.Utilizing the duct anchor function for the dilation of the punctum before syringing.Performing efficient canalicular shield maneuvers during dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR).Assisting in the diagnosis of canalicular stenosis or strictures with the Bowman Lacrimal Probe 13cm.Technical Specifications TableInstrument TypeLacrimal Probe / Duct DilatorTotal Length13 cm (5.1″)Size Range0000-000 to 7-8 (Varied diameters)MaterialPremium German Surgical Stainless Steel or Sterling SilverDesignDouble-Ended with Thumb PlateSterilizationFully AutoclavableFor complete ophthalmic workflows, this probe is often used alongside punctum dilators and lacrimal cannulas.
