Ambler Surgical / Elmed EL-5970 Dennis Bipolar Submucosal Turbinate Probe Set

The Elmed EL-5970 Dennis Probe is a specialized ENT instrument designed for the precise reduction of the inferior turbinates in patients with chronic nasal obstruction. Utilizing bipolar radiofrequency (RF) technology, the Dennis probe allows for targeted submucosal coagulation, effectively reducing turbinate volume while maintaining the vital mucosal lining. This "mucosal-sparing" approach leads to faster healing, less post-operative pain, and a significant reduction in the need for nasal packing compared to traditional resection methods.

The probe measures 9-5/8 inches and features an ergonomic shaft designed to navigate the nasal anatomy with ease. This complete set includes a high-quality bipolar cable and a dedicated sterilization tray, ensuring the delicate dual-prong tip is protected during reprocessing and transit.

Key Features

• Manufacturer: Elmed / Ambler Surgical

• Model Number: EL-5970 (Dennis Pattern)

• Application: Submucosal Turbinate Reduction (SMR) / Coagulation

• Probe Length: 9-5/8 inches (244 mm)

• Recommended Settings: $15\text{--}25\text{ W}$ (Low-Voltage Bipolar)

• Material: Medical-Grade Stainless Steel / High-Temp Insulation

Clinical & Operational Advantages

• Mucosal Preservation: By delivering energy beneath the surface, the probe treats the obstructive tissue while keeping the cilia intact, preventing chronic dryness and crusting.

• Procedural Efficiency: The bipolar design eliminates the need for a patient grounding pad, simplifying OR setup and increasing safety by confining energy to the tissue between the prongs.

• Ergonomic Reach: The 244mm length and specific tip angle provide effortless access to the entire length of the inferior turbinate, from the anterior head to the posterior tail.

• Complete Turn-Key Set: Includes the validated sterilization case ($10\text{-}1/4" \times 6\text{-}1/4" \times 1\text{-}1/2"$), ensuring the instrument remains organized and protected within your ENT tray.

Condition

• Status: Used – Usable Condition (USED-SI).

• Functional Assessment: The probe tips are straight and properly aligned. The insulation is intact with no cracks or exposed wiring. The included bipolar cable has been continuity-tested and fits the probe securely.

• Cosmetic Status: Shows visible signs of normal clinical use, including minor surface scuffs on the handle and typical sterilization-related patina on the stainless steel. These are purely cosmetic and do not affect the RF delivery or surgical precision.

• Sterilization Note: This instrument is provided non-sterile. It must be professionally cleaned and autoclaved per your facility's validated ENT/Electrosurgical protocols prior to use.
