Elsasser Nephrostomy Fcps short cvd 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed for percutaneous renal procedures, this Elsasser nephrostomy forceps is used to grasp and retrieve urinary calculi, clot or foreign material, and small tissue fragments within the renal collecting system and nephrostomy tract. Its configuration supports tasks performed during nephrostomy tube placement, tube exchange and endourologic stone management where controlled grasping and secure retrieval are required.

Design & Configuration

The short, curved 20 cm shaft provides a compact working length that improves control and maneuverability in the confined workspace of a nephrostomy tract or percutaneous access site. The curved geometry facilitates an angled approach into calyces and renal pelvises, helping the jaws access and engage fragments that are difficult to reach with straight instruments. The forceps design delivers precise bite control for secure retrieval while maintaining tactile feedback for the operator.
