Lahey Gall Duct Fcps 23cm

Clinical Application

Designed for use in biliary surgery, this Lahey pattern gall duct forceps is intended to provide secure grasping and controlled traction of the cystic duct, bile ducts and gallbladder neck during open cholecystectomy and biliary exploration. Its length and ergonomic handling help the surgical team maintain exposure of the porta hepatis and transport delicate ductal tissue with reduced slip risk during dissection, ligation or temporary occlusion.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's long shank delivers extended reach into the upper abdomen while keeping the operator's hands clear of the sterile field. A ring-handle configuration with a ratchet locking mechanism permits hands-free maintenance of clamp pressure and gradual tension adjustment. The elongated jaws concentrate grip forces at the working tip to improve control on narrow tubular structures without requiring excessive force along the shaft—important when manipulating delicate biliary tissue.
