Sklar Mayo Duct Scoop, Small, 10-1/2 Inch
A small scoop shaped instrument used to remove stones or debris from the common bile duct during open biliary surgery.
The Sklar Mayo Duct Scoop is used during open exploration of the common bile duct to lift and remove stones or debris obstructing bile flow. The curved, spoon shaped working end allows the surgeon to sweep along the inside of the duct and capture material without needing to force it through the ductal wall, which helps protect the delicate tissue from unnecessary trauma during retrieval.
This small sized scoop is suited to narrower ducts or smaller fragments, complementing larger scoops that a surgical team might use for bigger stones within the same procedure. General surgeons and hepatobiliary specialists keep a range of duct scoop sizes available during common bile duct exploration and cholecystectomy so the right instrument can be selected once the duct and stones are visualised.
This listing measures 10-1/2 inches overall and is described as a small pattern, with the row covering closely related size variants at the same overall length. As with other Sklar surgical instruments, it is manufactured from surgical stainless steel for repeated sterilisation and reuse.
