Fergusson Gall Stone Scoop 23.5cm

Clinical Application

Designed for retrieval of gallstones and small particulate debris during biliary procedures. The instrument is intended for use in open biliary surgery such as cholecystectomy and common bile duct exploration where controlled, atraumatic removal of calculi from the gallbladder lumen or operative field is required. The scoop enables extraction of free or partially impacted stones without the need for repeated manual grasping, reducing operative time and manipulation of surrounding tissue.

Design & Configuration

The extended 23.5 cm shaft provides sufficient reach into the gallbladder and bile ducts for effective stone capture while keeping the surgeon's hand clear of the immediate operative site. The concave, bowl-like head is configured to cradle stones and small fragments, facilitating single-motion retrieval. A smooth profile on the scoop head minimizes catch points and reduces risk of tearing fragile tissue or enlarging ductal openings during extraction. The straightforward, single-piece geometry supports reliable handling and straightforward cleaning.
