Shallcross Cystic Duct Forceps 17.8 cm Ring Handled Instrument is a specialized general surgical instrument designed for secure grasping, clamping, and manipulation of the cystic duct during biliary procedures such as cholecystectomy. It is widely used in general and hepatobiliary surgery where precise control of the cystic duct is required for safe dissection and ligation.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, Shallcross Cystic Duct Forceps offer excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability. The high-quality stainless steel construction ensures consistent performance even after repeated sterilization cycles. The polished finish provides a smooth surface that is easy to clean and suitable for sterile surgical environments.

The 17.8 cm length provides optimal balance between reach and control, allowing surgeons to access the operative field with precision. The ring-handled design ensures secure grip and fine control during delicate surgical manipulation of the cystic duct.

The finely engineered jaws are designed to provide firm yet atraumatic clamping of the cystic duct, minimizing tissue damage while maintaining a secure hold. This is essential for safe dissection and ligation during gallbladder surgery.

The ergonomic ring handles allow smooth operation and precise control, reducing hand fatigue during prolonged surgical procedures. The balanced construction enhances stability and accuracy during fine dissection work.

Shallcross Cystic Duct Forceps are commonly used in general surgery, laparoscopic-assisted procedures, and hepatobiliary surgery for cystic duct isolation and control during gallbladder removal.

Designed for repeated professional use, the instrument is fully reusable and compatible with standard sterilization methods, including steam autoclaving. Its stainless steel construction resists rust, corrosion, staining, and wear, ensuring long-term performance in surgical environments.

Each instrument undergoes strict quality control testing to ensure jaw alignment, smooth articulation, and reliable clamping performance for safe clinical use.
