Director

## Product Overview

Director is a director listed in the Probes range of the Aesculap Surgical Instrument Catalog, page 1382. The source catalog is bilingual and prints the designation as Director in English and Hohlsonde in German, so either term can be used when matching this item against an existing inventory or tender list. This entry represents the complete catalogued family of 4 configurations rather than a single item, so the specifications below describe the full printed range. Each configuration carries its own catalog number and is quoted separately. The family is printed in the catalog under the range BN003R-BN006R. It is classified in the catalog under Surgical Instruments > Probes > Director.

## Design Characteristics

The following characteristics are printed for every configuration in this listing: straight. The working portion is printed as straight, which is the geometry the catalog specifies for this reference. The catalog prints these descriptors bilingually: straight (gerade) and bulb-headed tip (Knopfspitze). Characteristics that differ across the family are set out under Configuration Options below.

## Configuration Options

The family is catalogued in 4 configurations. Configurations are distinguished by length. Printed length options are 130 mm, 140 mm, 145 mm, and 160 mm. Any combination not listed below is not printed in the source catalog and is therefore not offered as a catalogued configuration.

– **BN003R** — straight; length 130 mm; diameter 3.5 mm
– **BN004R** — straight; length 145 mm; diameter 3.5 mm
– **BN006R** — straight; length 160 mm; diameter 4 mm
– **BN015R** — straight; bulb-headed tip; length 140 mm; diameter 3.3 mm

Each configuration above is a separately catalogued item and can be quoted individually or as a set. Where two configurations carry identical printed specifications, the source catalog distinguishes them by catalog number only.
