Desjardins Gall Stone Fcps Fig.3, 23cm

Clinical Application

Designed for the controlled retrieval of biliary calculi, this Desjardins Fig. 3 forceps provides a reliable option for removing stones from the gallbladder and extrahepatic bile ducts during open cholecystectomy and choledochotomy procedures. Its jaw geometry is intended to secure stones for extraction while allowing the surgeon to maneuver within the operative field without excessive manipulation of surrounding tissue.

Design & Configuration

The Fig. 3 configuration denotes a classic Desjardins pattern optimized for stone grasping: narrow-profile jaws that permit access into the gallbladder and duct lumen and a working length that balances reach with tactile control. A 23 cm overall length provides sufficient reach for intra-abdominal access during open biliary surgery while maintaining ergonomic handling for fine positional adjustments. The hand-held design enables direct visualization and controlled extraction of calculi.
