Negus Gall Duct Forceps

Description

Negus Gall Duct Forceps

The Negus gall duct forceps dissect and clamp around the cystic and common bile ducts. Their curved jaws reach behind a duct, which helps the surgeon free it and pass a ligature.

Two figures

Figure 1 and figure 2 differ in curve and jaw length. As a result, you can match the forceps to the depth and angle of the duct.

Why curved jaws

Ducts lie behind other structures and run at angles. Therefore, a curve lets the tips pass around a duct without levering on it.

Typical uses of the Negus gall duct forceps

Surgeons use them during cholecystectomy to free the cystic duct and artery. They also help during common bile duct exploration.

Passing a ligature

After freeing the duct, open the jaws behind it and take a ligature into them. Then draw the forceps back to bring the thread around.

On the biliary tray

Stone forceps, scoops and probes deal with stones. Meanwhile, the Negus handles dissection and ligation around the ducts.

Choosing a figure

Figure 1 suits shallow ducts, while figure 2 suits deeper ones. Furthermore, many surgeons keep both.

Negus gall duct forceps options

• Figure 1 or figure 2
• Curved jaws
• Ring handles with ratchet

Negus care

Brush the curved jaws and the joint. Rinse, dry and sterilise.
