Mayo Blake Gall Stone Forceps

WE-9303

Description:

• Purpose: In surgical settings, these forceps are used to grasp and remove gallstones from the bile duct during procedures like a cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal). The long, curved jaws help reach deep anatomical locations.
• Design: The instrument features a scissor-style, ratcheted handle for a self-retaining grip. It has long, curved shanks and oval, "windowed" jaws, which may have fine serrations or teeth inside to provide a secure, yet atraumatic, grip on a gallstone.
• Alternative Use: Due to their precise clamping mechanism and design, very similar instruments are widely used in body piercing for securely holding the septum or other tissue during the procedure.
• Material: It is typically manufactured from high-grade, surgical stainless steel.
