Blunt Tip Pedicle Probe

Blunt Tip Pedicle Probe is a specialized spinal surgery instrument used during thoracic, lumbar, and sacral fixation procedures requiring accurate pedicle tract preparation. Designed for controlled pedicle canal development and trajectory assessment, this instrument enables surgeons to establish precise pathways for pedicle screw insertion while maintaining optimal tactile sensitivity and procedural control. The instrument features a blunt working tip engineered to advance through cancellous bone while providing enhanced feedback regarding pedicle boundaries and bone integrity. The atraumatic tip design helps surgeons identify cortical walls and maintain the intended screw trajectory during pedicle preparation. Its rigid shaft allows controlled manipulation and precise navigation within the pedicle channel, supporting accurate tract formation while minimizing the risk of unintended cortical penetration. The ergonomic handle provides a secure grip, balanced control, and reduced hand fatigue during prolonged spinal procedures, enabling consistent force application and precise instrument handling. Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the Blunt Tip Pedicle Probe delivers exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and dependable long-term performance. The satin or matte low-glare finish minimizes reflections under surgical lighting and facilitates efficient cleaning and maintenance. Widely used in hospitals, spine centers, and orthopedic surgical facilities, the Blunt Tip Pedicle Probe is an essential component of spinal instrumentation and fixation sets. Fully reusable and autoclavable, this instrument is designed to withstand repeated cleaning and sterilization cycles while maintaining structural integrity and consistent performance. Common Clinical Applications Include: Thoracic Spine Fixation Lumbar Spine Fixation Sacral Fixation Procedures Pedicle Screw Placement Spinal Fusion Surgery Deformity Correction Procedures Trauma Stabilization Revision Spine Surgery Pedicle Canal Preparation Trajectory Assessment Specifications Feature Details Product Name Blunt Tip Pedicle Probe Instrument Type Spinal Pedicle Probe Function Pedicle Canal Preparation and Trajectory Guidance Tip Configuration Blunt Tip Shaft Design Rigid Shaft Handle Design Ergonomic Handle Material Surgical-Grade Stainless Steel Finish Satin or Matte Low-Glare Finish Sterilization Fully Sterilizable and Autoclavable Reusability Reusable Application Thoracic, Lumbar, and Sacral Spinal Fixation Procedures Frequently Asked Questions What is a Blunt Tip Pedicle Probe used for?
