Nelaton Director

## Product Overview

Nelaton Director is a director listed in the Probes range of the Aesculap Surgical Instrument Catalog, page 1382. The catalog identifies the instrument under the NELATON pattern, which is the designation procurement teams and distributors use to identify this instrument family across suppliers. 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 a single catalogued configuration, catalog number BN012R, and the specifications below are the values printed for that reference. It is classified in the catalog under Surgical Instruments > Probes > Director.

The following characteristics are printed for every configuration in this listing: length 160 mm, diameter 4 mm, curved, blunt, bulb-headed tip, and length (imperial) 6 1/4″. Overall length is printed as 160 mm (6 1/4″ imperial). The printed working-end diameter is 4 mm. The working portion is printed as curved, which is the geometry the catalog specifies for this reference. The catalog prints the working edge as blunt. The tip is printed as bulb-headed tip. The catalog prints these descriptors bilingually: curved (gebogen) and blunt (stumpf).
