Luer-Koerte Gall Stone Scoop 5.5mm Fig.1, 32cm

Clinical Application

This instrument is designed for controlled retrieval of calculi during biliary procedures and duct exploration. The 5.5 mm scoop diameter permits capture of small-to-moderate-sized stones while minimizing contact area with the ductal mucosa. The 32 cm shaft provides reach into deep operative fields and facilitates extraction from the gallbladder or common bile duct during open biliary surgery and ductotomy-based stone removal.

Design & Configuration

The straight, long-handled scoop geometry provides direct access and tactile feedback when engaging stones. The cup-shaped tip cradles calculi to reduce slippage during withdrawal and allows controlled placement into specimen trays or retrieval bags. The extended shaft length improves reach into the surgical field without excessive retraction, and the balanced handle geometry aids in one-handed manipulation and delivers consistent orientation of the scoop during extraction.
