Blunt means "not sharp". Sometimes you want a knife or a needle, but not this time.

probe (prōb)

1. a long, slender instrument for exploring wounds or body cavities or passages.

2. a radioactive or chemiluminescent DNA or RNA sequence used to detect the presence of a complementary sequence. DNA probes are used clinically to detect and identify infectious disease agents.
