Key Details:
• Purpose: Removes stones during choledocholithotomy and other procedures involving the gallbladder or biliary tract.
• Material: Stainless steel.
• Design: Oval fenestrated jaws help capture calculi while reducing slippage.
• Applications: Used for stone retrieval from the common bile duct and, where appropriate to the instrument pattern, selected urinary structures.

The instruments are reusable and designed to withstand a large number of autoclave sterilization cycles when properly maintained.
Recommended Sterilization Procedure:
1. Thoroughly clean the instruments before sterilization. Do not use metal brushes, as they may damage the instruments’ surfaces.
2. Immerse the instruments in an appropriate sterilizing solution according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After soaking, rinse them thoroughly with running water and dry them completely.
3. Sterilize the instruments in an autoclave at 134°C in accordance with standard sterilization protocols.
