Gall Stone Catcher malleable 26.5cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is designed to capture and retrieve gallstones and small biliary calculi during biliary surgery, including cholecystectomy and common bile duct exploration. Its length and catcher tip facilitate removal of loose stones from the gallbladder, cystic duct, or bile duct while helping to limit stone migration and biliary contamination. It is useful in both open and minimally invasive procedures where a shapeable retrieval tool is required.

Design & Configuration

The malleable shaft allows the surgeon to contour the instrument to patient anatomy or operative approach, improving access to stones in tortuous ducts or angled cavities. The dedicated stone-capturing tip retains calculi securely for extraction while minimizing the need for repeated manipulations. The 26.5 cm working length provides reach for typical abdominal and biliary operative fields without excessive external length.
