Clinical Application
This blunt curette is designed to assist surgeons in the controlled dislodgement and retrieval of gallstones and retained debris from the gallbladder lumen and cystic duct region during biliary surgery. Its blunt curetting surface is intended to mobilize stones and sludge while minimizing mucosal injury, making it useful in open biliary procedures and other cases requiring deep access to the gallbladder bed or biliary tract.
Design & Configuration
The instrument’s blunt curette geometry provides a non‑cutting, scoop-like working surface that permits scraping and controlled scooping of calculi and viscous material. The 30 cm overall length affords extended reach into deeper portions of the gallbladder or operative field without requiring excessive retraction. The long shaft helps maintain working clearance within the abdominal cavity, enabling the surgeon to apply tactile feedback and precise control during debridement or stone retrieval.
