The Neurosurgery Surgical MIS Ball Probe Angled Right 5mm (10½″) is a premium surgical instrument engineered to deliver exceptional precision during minimally invasive spine (MIS) and neurosurgical procedures. Designed to assist surgeons in safely exploring spinal anatomy, identifying tissue planes, and confirming anatomical landmarks, this instrument combines a 5mm rounded ball tip, a right-angled working end, and an extended 10½-inch (approximately 267 mm) shaft to ensure reliable performance in confined surgical environments.

Minimally invasive spine surgery requires specialized instruments capable of working through narrow tubular retractors while preserving surrounding tissue. The 5mm atraumatic ball tip is specifically designed to gently palpate nerves, dura, vertebral bone, and soft tissues without causing unnecessary trauma. Its rounded configuration allows smooth navigation through delicate anatomical structures while providing outstanding tactile feedback, enabling surgeons to accurately evaluate tissue integrity and identify critical spinal landmarks.

The right-angled working end enhances access to anatomical structures located on the right side of the operative field. This specialized configuration improves instrument maneuverability within narrow surgical corridors, allowing surgeons to maintain a natural hand position and better visualization during complex spinal procedures. Whether performing lumbar decompression, cervical spine surgery, or microdiscectomy, the angled design supports efficient instrument handling and precise tissue assessment.

With its 10½-inch overall length, the probe offers excellent reach into deep operative sites while allowing the surgeon’s hands to remain outside the limited surgical corridor. This extended design minimizes obstruction within the operative field, improves visualization through surgical microscopes and magnification loupes, and supports controlled, accurate movements during intricate neurosurgical procedures.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the instrument provides exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability. Precision machining ensures smooth surfaces, dimensional accuracy, and dependable performance throughout repeated clinical use. The stainless steel construction is specifically selected to withstand frequent steam sterilization cycles while maintaining structural integrity and optimal functionality.

The ergonomically balanced handle provides a secure and comfortable grip, reducing hand fatigue during lengthy procedures while enhancing tactile sensitivity and control. Its lightweight design allows surgeons to perform delicate manipulations with confidence, improving procedural efficiency and surgical accuracy.

The Neurosurgery Surgical MIS Ball Probe Angled Right 5mm (10½″) is widely used during minimally invasive lumbar surgery, cervical decompression, laminectomy, microdiscectomy, spinal fusion, foraminotomy, revision spine surgery, and other advanced neurosurgical procedures. It assists in confirming decompression, exploring neural pathways, assessing spinal anatomy, and verifying proper surgical access before and during operative intervention.

Designed for repeated professional use, the instrument is fully reusable and compatible with standard hospital sterilization protocols, including steam autoclaving. Its durable construction makes it a cost-effective solution for hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and specialized spine clinics seeking dependable, high-performance neurosurgical instruments.

Combining precision engineering, ergonomic handling, premium stainless steel construction, and exceptional reliability, the Neurosurgery Surgical MIS Ball Probe Angled Right 5mm (10½″) is an essential addition to any modern neurosurgical or orthopedic spine instrument set.
