Desjardins Gall Stone Scoop Fig.3, 30cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is designed to retrieve choleliths and small debris from the gallbladder lumen and biliary tract during biliary procedures. It is commonly used in open cholecystectomy, common bile duct exploration and other biliary surgeries where a manual spoon-like instrument is required to cradle and extract stones with controlled manipulation.

Design & Configuration

The concave, spoon-shaped bowl provides a secure cradle for stones, allowing the surgeon to scoop and retain calculi while minimizing contact with surrounding tissues. The 30 cm working length gives reach into the gallbladder fundus and biliary ducts from a comfortable hand position, helping reduce the need for repeated instrument exchanges. A smooth, contoured bowl reduces the risk of tissue snagging during insertion and withdrawal.
