Mayo Blake Gall Stone Fcps 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed for retrieval of gallstones and small calculi during open hepatobiliary procedures, exploratory laparotomies, and common bile duct explorations. The instrument provides secure capture of slippery stones in the operative field and facilitates controlled extraction during cholecystectomy and biliary tract surgery. Its 20 cm length offers additional reach into the gallbladder fossa and deeper abdominal pockets encountered in open cases.

Design & Configuration

The instrument uses a ring-handle design with a ratchet lock to allow progressive closing pressure and hands-free retention of a captured stone. The jaws are configured specifically to cradle and stabilize calculi, maximizing contact area to reduce slippage while permitting visual confirmation of the captured specimen. The 20 cm overall length balances reach with tactile control for use in deeper operative fields without excessive shaft flex.
