Sklar Elsaesser Nephrostomy Forceps
A forceps designed for urological procedures, used to grasp tissue or renal calculi through a nephrostomy tract during kidney access surgery.
The Sklar Elsaesser Nephrostomy Forceps is used during nephrostomy and related renal access procedures, where a urologist needs to grasp tissue or a stone fragment through a narrow tract leading into the kidney. The Elsaesser pattern is built for this specific application, with a shape and jaw design suited to working through the confined access of a nephrostomy tract rather than the larger surgical fields typical of open abdominal surgery.
This listing covers two variants of the pattern, numbered within the Elsaesser family, giving a urology department a choice within the same product line to suit its established instrument sets. It is used by urologists and their assistants during percutaneous nephrolithotomy and other procedures that access the kidney through a small tract rather than an open incision.
As a stainless steel instrument, it is designed for the repeated cleaning and sterilisation cycles of hospital and clinic instrument processing, remaining suitable for continued use across many urological procedures.
