Clinical Application
Used to grasp, manipulate and extract gallstones and fragments during open biliary procedures and cholecystectomy. The straight profile and 20 cm working length provide controlled access to the gallbladder lumen and common bile duct in open cases, facilitating removal of intact calculi or retrieval of fragmented stones during duct exploration.
Design & Configuration
The straight shaft offers direct alignment with the surgical field for precise insertion into the gallbladder or duct. Cupped/fenestrated jaw geometry is intended to secure calculi while distributing contact forces to reduce slippage and minimize trauma to surrounding mucosa. The instrument's balance and hand-held geometry support controlled manual advancement and extraction in confined operative sites.
