Bakes Gall Stone Probe 30cm set/13 in pouch

Clinical Application

This long, blunt-ended probe is designed for use in biliary surgery to explore the cystic duct and common bile duct, confirm ductal continuity, localize gallstones, and facilitate stone retrieval or guidewire placement during open and laparoscopic common bile duct exploration and intraoperative cholangiography.

Design & Configuration

The 30 cm shaft length provides reach into the extrahepatic biliary tree while maintaining tactile feedback for safe ductal probing. The smooth, blunt tip is intended to minimize trauma to the ductal mucosa when traversing strictures or negotiating impacted stones. Supplied as a 13-piece set in a pouch, the configuration supports procedure staging, multiple-case availability, and efficient instrument turnover in the sterile field.
