Turner Warwick Gall Stone Fcps 19cm

Clinical Application

Designed for the atraumatic grasp and removal of gallstones during biliary surgery, these forceps are used in open cholecystectomy, choledochotomy and duct exploration procedures. The instrument's geometry facilitates secure capture of calculi within the gallbladder or common bile duct while allowing the surgeon to maintain tactile control during extraction and retrieval.

Design & Configuration

The 19 cm length balances intra-abdominal reach with ergonomic control at the surgeon's hand. Ring handles with a ratchet locking mechanism permit sustained grip and controlled traction on retrieved stones without continuous manual force. The elongated shaft permits access into the gallbladder lumen or bile duct while keeping the operator’s hand clear of the field. Jaw geometry is optimized to provide secure, atraumatic engagement of stones to minimize slippage during removal.
