A Double End Probe is a versatile, stainless-steel diagnostic instrument used in human and veterinary examinations to explore wounds, check tissue depth, locate foreign bodies, measure sinuses, and assist during minor surgical procedures. It features two functional ends—usually blunt, pointed, grooved, or hook-shaped—allowing multiple uses in a single tool. Lightweight, precise, and easy to sterilise, it is essential in clinics, dental setups, and surgical centres.
