11 3/4 Desjardins Gall Stone Scoops Flex 18 Fr

11 3/4 Inch Desjardins Gallstone Scoops with Flexible Shaft (18 Fr)

The 11 3/4 inch Desjardins gallstone scoops feature a flexible shaft design, optimized for navigating the biliary tree during choledocholithotomy. With an 18 French diameter, these instruments provide the necessary rigidity and flexibility to effectively retrieve stones from the common bile duct. Designed for precision in operating room settings, they allow surgeons to maneuver around anatomical curves without causing trauma to delicate ductal tissues. This tool is essential for minimally invasive stone extraction procedures, ensuring efficient clearance of the biliary system while maintaining instrument integrity throughout complex surgical interventions.

• Retrieval of gallstones from the common bile duct during open or laparoscopic cholecystectomy
• Navigation through curved biliary anatomy where rigid instruments cannot safely pass
• Minimizing tissue trauma during stone extraction in sensitive ductal environments
• Facilitating complete biliary clearance in cases of multiple or impacted stones

• Inspect the flexible shaft for kinks or permanent deformation before each use to ensure safe navigation.
• Clean thoroughly according to hospital sterilization protocols, paying special attention to the scoop basket mechanism.
• Store in a protective case to prevent bending or damage to the delicate tip structure.
