Desjardin Gall Stone Probe Fig.2, 28cm

Clinical Application

Designed for intraoperative exploration and manipulation of the biliary tract, this probe is used during cholecystectomy and common bile duct (CBD) exploration to assess duct patency, locate impacted stones, and assist in cannulation for intraoperative cholangiography. The length provides reach into the extrahepatic biliary tree, helping surgeons pass the probe through the cystic duct into the CBD for diagnostic probing or to guide small-caliber devices.

Design & Configuration

The instrument features a slender, rigid shaft with a fine, tapered, atraumatic tip to minimize mucosal and ductal trauma while allowing precise tactile feedback. The 28 cm overall length gives additional working reach for intra-abdominal access without excessive slack, and the probe's profile balances stiffness for control with a slim diameter to pass through narrow ducts. The Fig.2 designation identifies the specific Desjardin pattern and sizing familiar in biliary instrument sets.
