Desjardins Forcep – Gall Stone, Large Jaws, 23 cm (9″), Curved, Smooth Jaw

Designed for controlled gallstone extraction, Desjardins gall stone forceps are specialized surgical instruments used during bile duct and biliary procedures where precision and atraumatic handling matter. This large-jaw, curved Desjardins forceps model supports secure stone retrieval from the gall duct while maintaining clear access and manual control. Built for routine operating room use, it offers a reliable solution for surgeons and procurement teams seeking consistency, durability, and procedural safety.

These forceps address a common surgical challenge: grasping and removing gallstones from narrow or deep bile duct pathways without damaging surrounding tissue. The curved profile improves access, while smooth jaws reduce trauma during manipulation. For hospitals, clinics, and distributors, Desjardins bile duct forceps provide a practical balance between performance, reusability, and long-term cost control.

Product Description

The Desjardins (Rochester) gall stone forceps are intended for use in general and biliary surgery, particularly during choledocholithotomy and related open procedures. The large jaw configuration is designed to hold stones securely, even in limited visual fields. A non-ratcheted handle allows surgeons to control grip pressure manually, supporting delicate retrieval where tactile feedback is essential.

Manufactured from surgical-grade stainless steel, the instrument is suitable for repeated sterilization cycles. Its corrosion-resistant finish helps maintain surface integrity over time, supporting consistent performance across multiple procedures. At 23 cm (225 mm / 9 inch / 8⅞ inch), the length is optimized for bile duct access without compromising balance or handling. For buyers comparing specifications, Desjardins forceps 23 cm are commonly selected for hospital and professional surgical use.

The curved, smooth jaws are a defining feature. Unlike serrated designs, smooth jaws reduce the risk of crushing or tearing tissue during gallstone removal. This makes the instrument appropriate for surgeons who prioritize atraumatic technique in bile duct surgery. Large jaw Desjardins forceps are preferred when stone size or location requires a broader gripping surface.

From a procurement perspective, this model supports bulk ordering, export supply, and routine reprocessing workflows. It is supplied non-sterile and intended for standard hospital sterilization protocols, including autoclave processing. Facilities seeking reusable surgical instruments will find Desjardins Forceps align well with sustainability and inventory-management goals.

Material, Care, and Compliance

The stainless steel construction supports durability, structural stability, and resistance to repeated thermal and chemical exposure. Proper cleaning, inspection, and storage extend service life and maintain functional accuracy. When manufactured under ISO 13485 quality systems and supplied as CE-certified surgical forceps, this instrument meets common international purchasing requirements for hospitals and distributors.
