GALL BLADDER FORCEPS

About GALL BLADDER FORCEPS

Gallbladder forceps are specialized surgical instruments used to grasp and excise gallstones during cholecystectomies (gallbladder removal surgeries). These forceps ensure atraumatic removal of stones without causing harm to surrounding tissues.

Here are some key characteristics and features of gallbladder forceps:

• Types: Blake Gall Stone Forceps and Lahey Gall Duct Forceps are two common types, offering curved and straight patterns with varying lengths (e.g., 8 1/2 inches).
• Handle design: Finger-ring handles provide precise control during maneuvering.
• Material: Typically made from high-quality stainless steel or titanium alloys.
• Usage: Used to grasp and extract gallstones from the gallbladder during laparoscopic or open surgical procedures.
• Importance: Atraumatic removal of gallstones is crucial to prevent damage to surrounding tissues and bile ducts.

Some popular brands and models include:

• Blake Gall Stone Forceps (curved and straight patterns)
• Lahey Gall Duct Forceps (7 1/2" and 9" lengths)
