Desjardins Gall Stone Fcps Fig.1, 23cm

Clinical Application

Designed to grasp and extract biliary calculi during cholecystectomy and common bile duct exploration. The cupped jaw geometry is optimized to capture single stones and small aggregates while minimizing slippage and fragmentation, supporting controlled removal during open biliary procedures and choledocholithotomy. Useful as part of hepatobiliary instrument sets for surgeons and operating-room staff involved in gallbladder and bile-duct surgery.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's hand-held, ring-handle configuration provides tactile feedback and precise manual control for delicate maneuvers in the surgical field. At 23 cm overall length the shaft offers sufficient reach into the gallbladder and common bile duct without excessive bulk on the tray. The Fig. 1 cup-style jaws conform to the surface of calculi to improve purchase and reduce the need for repetitive repositioning, which helps limit soft-tissue trauma and stone fragmentation.
