Clinical Application
A surgical scoop used to capture and remove gallstones and small calculi during biliary procedures. Primarily employed during open cholecystectomy and biliary exploration, the instrument allows controlled retrieval of stones from the gallbladder lumen, cystic duct remnant or accessible portions of the common bile duct without excessive manipulation of surrounding tissues.
Design & Configuration
The instrument features an extended shaft and a spoon-shaped distal tip that permits engagement and containment of calculi. The length provides additional reach into the gallbladder and biliary tract in open abdominal procedures while keeping the surgeon’s hand clear of the operative field. The scoop geometry is intended to cradle stones for atraumatic removal and to minimize slippage during extraction.
