ABSTRACT:
An instrument for packing wounds with gauze or the like is provided having an elongated shaft, a rounded tip at a distal end of the shaft, a notch within the tip with the notch bieng sufficiently narrow to grip the gauze yet wide enough to prevent the gauze from being pulled from the wound when the probe is pulled from the wound. The shaft and tip may be hollow to allow for flushing and aspirating of the wound, and a cutting blade may be provided along the shaft to sever the material at a desired length.
