Clinical Application
Designed for atraumatic removal of gallstones and the controlled scraping or debridement of the gallbladder mucosa and biliary ducts during cholecystectomy and biliary exploration. The blunt curetting surface allows surgeons to dislodge and retrieve stones, fragments, and inspissated bile while minimizing the risk of perforation or excessive tissue trauma. The 30 cm length provides reach into the gallbladder fossa and intra-abdominal working area for both open and minimally invasive workflows.
Design & Configuration
The instrument's straight, elongated shaft and blunt curetting tip deliver tactile feedback and controlled scooping action for stone expression and fragment retrieval. A rounded, non-cutting curette profile reduces the likelihood of sharp injury to the gallbladder wall and adjacent structures. The extended 30 cm length supports access to deep or difficult-to-reach anatomy without requiring excessive instrument manipulation at the bedside.
