Elsasser Nephrostomy Fcps deep cvd 20cm

Clinical Application

Designed for percutaneous renal procedures, this deep curved nephrostomy forceps provides controlled access and atraumatic grasping within the renal collecting system and nephrostomy tract. It is used by urologists and interventional radiologists for tasks such as securing or adjusting nephrostomy tubes, retrieving small calculi or fragments, and manipulating tissue or foreign bodies within calyces and the renal pelvis through a working tract or sheath.

Design & Configuration

The deep curved geometry and 20 cm working length deliver extended reach into flank and retroperitoneal approaches while the curved jaw profile facilitates tangential engagement of calyceal anatomy. The slender jaw design allows passage through dilators and sheaths with minimal profile, enabling precise one-handed control in confined fields. Curvature improves access around bends and reduces the need for excessive instrument angulation, helping to minimize collateral tissue stress during grasping and retrieval.
