Clinical Application
Designed for use in hepatobiliary surgery, these curved lower gall duct forceps provide controlled grasping and traction on the cystic duct, lower biliary ducts and adjacent soft tissues during cholecystectomy and other biliary dissections. The curved geometry facilitates alignment with ductal anatomy and improves access around the inferior edge of the liver to aid in precise exposure and safe dissection.
Design & Configuration
The curved shaft and jaw axis orient the working tip toward the lower ductal plane, allowing the surgeon to approach ductal structures with improved line-of-sight and working angle compared with straight forceps. At 18 cm length, the instrument balances reach and control for open hepatobiliary procedures, offering sufficient shaft length for intra-abdominal exposure while maintaining tactile feedback. The hand-held design supports fine manipulative control for gentle retraction and grasping during dissection and clip placement.
