Mixter Gall Stone Forceps

Description

Mixter Gall Stone Forceps

The Mixter gall stone forceps have sharply curved jaws. That curve lets the tips reach around corners in the bile duct and grasp stones that straight forceps would miss.

Size of the Mixter gall stone forceps

They measure 22 cm overall. Therefore, they reach the mid and lower duct. Meanwhile, the curve gives access behind bends.

Sharp curve

The jaws turn at a steep angle. As a result, the surgeon can approach a stone from the side. That is useful when the stone sits in a pocket.

Typical procedures

Surgeons keep them ready whenever the duct is opened. In addition, they help free stones in the cystic duct. They also suit hepatic duct work.

Technique

Turn the curve toward the stone before closing. Then grasp gently and rotate back as you withdraw. Also, avoid levering against the duct wall.

On the tray

Straight and gently curved forceps sit beside them. Consequently, the surgeon can switch shapes as needed. Most biliary trays carry one Mixter pair.
