DESJARDINS Gall Stone Scoop

The Desjardins Gall Stone Scoop is a specialized surgical instrument widely used in hepatobiliary and gastrointestinal surgeries for the safe removal of gallstones from the bile ducts or gallbladder. This instrument plays a critical role in procedures like choledocholithotomy and open gallbladder surgeries, where stones need to be extracted without causing damage to the surrounding tissues.

Manufactured from high-grade surgical stainless steel, the Desjardins Gall Stone Scoop offers excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and easy sterilization, making it suitable for repeated use in the operating room. Its design features a spoon-shaped scoop at one end, which allows the surgeon to carefully retrieve gallstones of various sizes from the biliary tract.

The smooth and rounded edges of the scoop help minimize trauma to delicate ductal tissues during stone extraction. Its ergonomic handle provides the surgeon with a comfortable and controlled grip, allowing precise manipulation even in deep or narrow surgical sites.

Available in various sizes, the Desjardins Gall Stone Scoop enables surgeons to choose the most appropriate instrument based on the size of the stones and the patient’s anatomy. The scoop is designed to fit easily into the bile duct or gallbladder incision, providing efficient access to the target area.

During surgery, once the bile duct or gallbladder is opened, the surgeon gently inserts the scoop into the ductal system, navigates towards the stone, and extracts it with minimal force to prevent injury to the bile duct walls. This tool is particularly useful when dealing with multiple or larger gallstones, where precision and safety are paramount.

In summary, the Desjardins Gall Stone Scoop is an essential surgical tool for gastrointestinal surgeons, hepatobiliary specialists, and general surgeons performing gallstone removal procedures. Its durable construction, user-friendly design, and safe functionality make it a valuable addition to any surgical instrument set focused on biliary tract surgeries.During surgery, once the bile duct or gallbladder is opened, the surgeon gently inserts the scoop into the ductal system, navigates towards the stone, and extracts it with minimal force to prevent injury to the bile duct walls.
