Muenchen Model Gall Stone Curette blunt 30cm

Clinical Application

Designed for biliary surgery, the blunt curette is used to dislodge and remove gallstones and biliary debris from the gallbladder lumen or from an exposed bile duct during cholecystectomy and common bile duct exploration. The 30 cm shaft provides added reach for working in deeper operative fields or when access is limited, allowing surgeons to retrieve stones with controlled scooping motions while minimizing traction on surrounding tissue.

Design & Configuration

The instrument features a blunt, rounded curette tip that scoops calculi rather than cutting or incising tissue, reducing the risk of mucosal or ductal injury. The long, slender shaft delivers tactile feedback and reach for intra-abdominal use, enabling the surgeon to work through narrow exposures or extended incisions. The blunt geometry facilitates atraumatic engagement of stones and controlled removal from confined lumens.
