Pedicle Probe
The Pedicle Probe is a critical spinal surgical instrument used for creating and assessing the trajectory of the pedicle channel before inserting pedicle screws. Designed for manual precision, the probe allows surgeons to palpate the internal pedicle walls and confirm the integrity of the bony canal. It is commonly used in spinal fusion, deformity correction, and minimally invasive spine surgery (MISS).
Available in various designs such as straight, curved, ball-tip, cannulated, and angled configurations, the pedicle probe enables optimal navigation through thoracic, lumbar, or sacral pedicles. Many variants feature ergonomic T-handles, palm grips, or ratcheted mechanisms for improved control, torque application, and tactile feedback. Certain models also include depth markings, radiolucent handles, or flexible shafts for complex anatomical cases.
Manufactured from high-grade surgical stainless steel or titanium, these probes are fully autoclavable, reusable, and built for long-term performance in operating rooms.
