Sklar Mayo Blake Gallstone Forceps, Curved
A curved forceps with serrated tips used to grasp and retrieve gallstones during open cholecystectomy or bile duct exploration.
The Sklar Mayo Blake Gallstone Forceps is used to reach into the biliary tree and grasp gallstones so they can be withdrawn during open gallbladder or common bile duct surgery. The serrated tips give the surgeon a secure hold on a stone's irregular surface, reducing the chance of it slipping back into the duct as it is being extracted, while the curved shape allows the instrument to follow the natural curve of the duct rather than forcing a straight approach into a confined anatomical space.
General surgeons and hepatobiliary specialists use this forceps as part of a dedicated gallstone or biliary exploration set, working alongside gallstone scoops, probes and dilators built for the same procedures. This row measures 8 inches and is curved, with a straight configuration of the same length also included in this listing.
As with other Sklar surgical instruments, it is manufactured from surgical stainless steel and intended for repeated sterilisation and reuse.
