Sklar Lower Gall Duct Forceps
A specialty forceps used to grasp tissue and explore the lower portion of the bile duct during open biliary and gallbladder surgery.
The Sklar Lower Gall Duct Forceps is a specialty instrument used during open biliary surgery to grasp and hold structures around the lower common bile duct, helping the surgeon control tissue while dissecting the duct free or exploring it for stones or strictures. Procedures involving the biliary tree, such as common bile duct exploration or complex cholecystectomy, benefit from purpose built instruments like this one because the anatomy is delicate and the surgical field is often narrow and deep.
General surgeons and hepatobiliary specialists use this forceps as part of a dedicated biliary instrument set, working alongside probes, dilators and other gall duct specific tools designed for the same region. It measures 7 inches overall, a length suited to reaching the lower bile duct through an open abdominal incision.
This listing is a single configuration rather than a range of sizes. As with other Sklar surgical instruments, it is made from surgical stainless steel and intended for repeated sterilisation and reuse within a standard biliary surgery tray.
