Open-surgery stone-retrieval forceps

Open-surgery stone-retrieval forceps are reusable surgical tools designed to grasp and remove kidney or gallbladder stones during open surgical procedures. Their scissors-like design, with curved blades and serrated or slotted surfaces, allows precise manipulation of stones or soft tissue, such as polyps, during minimally invasive or open interventions.

These devices are typically regulated as surgical instruments, often requiring compliance with general medical device safety and performance standards. They are commonly supplied as reusable instruments, requiring sterilization between uses, and may be subject to classification based on their intended use and risk profile in specific jurisdictions.
