Desjardins Gall Stone Fcps Fig.2, 23cm

Clinical Application

Designed for use in open biliary and gallbladder procedures, this forceps is intended to capture and retrieve gallstones during cholecystectomy, choledochotomy, and common bile duct exploration. The jaw geometry facilitates secure handling of rounded, slippery calculi to enable controlled extraction while minimizing the need for repeated manipulation that can prolong operative time.

Design & Configuration

The 23 cm length provides extended reach for abdominal access in open procedures without excessive shaft length that can reduce tactile feedback. The Fig.2 Desjardins pattern describes a jaw configuration tailored to cradle and retain stones during withdrawal; this geometry helps maintain a stable grip on irregular and smooth-surfaced calculi, improving control during delivery through an incision or into a retrieval device.
