Description:
The Ball Tip Pedicle Probe is a safety-enhanced version of traditional probes, featuring a smooth, rounded ball tip that glides along the cancellous bone while preventing cortical perforation. Ideal for tactile assessment, especially in training environments or pediatric and osteoporotic patients, this probe is a preferred choice for surgeons prioritizing safe and conservative pedicle preparation.
