Esophageal/rectal probes

The esophageal and rectal probes supplied by Shanghai Woodlands International Trading Co., Ltd. are temperature-sensing devices designed for clinical use in monitoring core body temperature. They feature a flexible shaft with a thermistor sensor at the tip, calibrated for accuracy within ±0.1°C. The probe housing is constructed from medical-grade silicone or polyurethane, compatible with disinfectants and suitable for single-use or limited reuse applications. Dimensions are standardized to 6.5 mm diameter and 35 cm length for esophageal use, and 8 mm diameter with a tapered tip for rectal insertion.

The thermistor is embedded in a biocompatible polymer sheath to prevent electrical leakage and ensure patient safety. The probes are compatible with digital thermometers using standard 2.5 mm or 3.5 mm connectors. While the supplier states the material is medical-grade, no specific compliance with ISO 10993 is confirmed. Typical industry probes use platinum or nickel-based thermistors with a response time under 5 seconds. These are not intended for invasive procedures beyond mucosal contact.

These probes are purchased by hospitals, emergency units, and surgical centers in Asia, Africa, and Latin America for perioperative and critical care monitoring. They are sold in packs of 10, 50, or 100 units, sterilized via ethylene oxide or gamma irradiation. Trade terms are commonly FOB Shanghai, with lead times of 2 to 3 weeks. Buyers should confirm whether the probes are single-use or reusable, as reuse requires validated cleaning and sterilization protocols.

Shanghai Woodlands International Trading Co., Ltd. is a trading company based in Shanghai, registered with the local commerce bureau. It specializes in medical accessories, including probes, catheters, and monitoring tools. The listing confirms it is an imported supplier with harbor trust tier, but provides no details on manufacturing capability, quality control, or testing facilities. No certifications, facility audits, or R&D claims are disclosed in the source data.

The company does not indicate whether it manufactures probes or sources them from third-party factories. Its response rate is zero, and average response time is not recorded, suggesting limited buyer support. Buyers should treat this as a distributor and request documentation from the actual manufacturer. Traceability, batch records, and calibration certificates must be obtained directly, as the supplier does not provide them in the listing.
