Dean Shallcross Gallduct Fcps 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed for hepatobiliary use, this instrument is intended to grasp, manipulate and temporarily control biliary structures such as the cystic duct and portions of the common bile duct during open gallbladder and bile duct procedures. It aids exposure and traction of the gallbladder neck and ductal tissue, facilitating dissection, identification of anatomy and application of clips or ligatures while minimizing slippage during reconstruction or repair.

Design & Configuration

The slim, hand-held geometry and moderate 18 cm length provide reach and control in the upper abdomen without excessive shaft bulk. The jaw geometry is optimized for ductal handling—providing secure purchase on tubular biliary tissue while distributing contact force to reduce focal trauma. The overall balance supports fingertip control during delicate dissection and specimen manipulation, improving visibility at the operative site.
