Bakes Gallstone Probe

The Bakes Gallstone Probe is a specialized surgical instrument used in gallbladder surgery to detect and remove gallstones from the bile ducts or gallbladder. It is particularly helpful in procedures like cholangiography or common bile duct exploration.

Key Features:

• Long, Slim Design: The Bakes Gallstone Probe has a long, slender shaft, allowing access to deep areas like the common bile duct or gallbladder during surgery.
• Blunt Tip: The tip is typically blunt to reduce trauma to surrounding tissues while probing for stones.
• Curved Shape: Some models have a slight curve, which helps in maneuvering around the curves of the bile ducts for easier stone detection and removal.
• Durable Construction: Made from high-quality stainless steel, it is resistant to corrosion and can be sterilized for repeated use.

Advantages:

• Minimally Traumatic: The blunt, smooth tip minimizes tissue injury during stone exploration.
• Precision: Allows for precise detection and removal of gallstones from bile ducts.
• Versatile: Used in gallbladder surgeries, especially during bile duct exploration to remove stones that could cause blockages.

The Bakes Gallstone Probe is a key instrument in gallbladder and bile duct surgeries, offering a safe, effective way to locate and remove gallstones.
