Stille Gall Stone Forceps

Description

Stille Gall Stone Forceps

The Stille gall stone forceps take hold of stones lodged in the main bile duct. A gentle curve guides the jaws along the duct, and the 23 cm length suits most open explorations.

Size of the Stille gall stone forceps

They measure 23 cm overall. That reaches the mid and lower duct comfortably. In addition, the moderate length gives good control.

Curved design

The curve follows the path of the duct from the opening. As a result, the jaws reach the stone without levering on the duct wall. That lowers the risk of tears.

Typical procedures

Surgeons use them during open common bile duct exploration. For example, they lift stones near the ampulla. They also remove stones from the hepatic ducts.

Technique

Advance the closed jaws to the stone. Then open slightly and close around it. Finally, withdraw with steady, gentle traction.

Working with other tools

A scoop helps when the stone is too smooth to grasp. Meanwhile, a probe confirms the duct is clear afterwards. Together they complete the exploration.
