Clinical Application
Designed for retrieval and manipulation of gallstones during open biliary surgery. The 20 cm length provides adequate reach for subhepatic and pericholecystic access during cholecystectomy and common bile duct exploration through an open approach. The jaw geometry delivers secure purchase on individual calculi for extraction through a choledochotomy or small incision without excessive compression of surrounding tissue.
Design & Configuration
The instrument features an elongated shank and purpose-shaped jaws to reach into the gallbladder and biliary tract while keeping the surgeon's hands clear of the operative field. The jaw profile is optimized to obtain a positive grip on smooth or irregular stone surfaces, reducing the need for repeated attempts and minimizing ductal trauma. Handle ergonomics support precise tactile control during delicate retrieval maneuvers.
