Moynihan Gall Stone Probe 34cm

Clinical Application

Designed for biliary surgery, this probe is used to locate and negotiate the cystic duct and common bile duct during cholecystectomy and common bile duct exploration. It assists in stone localization, assessment of duct patency, and can be used to guide cannulation for intraoperative cholangiography or passage of retrieval instruments. Its length allows the surgeon to reach deeper segments of the biliary tree while maintaining tactile feedback.

Design & Configuration

The straight, slender shaft transmits tactile sensation to the operator, improving the ability to feel strictures, impacted stones, and the lumen of small ducts. A blunt, rounded tip reduces the risk of iatrogenic perforation while permitting atraumatic negotiation of ductal anatomy. The 34 cm length provides extended reach required in open or limited-access biliary procedures without sacrificing control during delicate manipulation.
