The Kumar PRE-VIEW* Cholangiography

WHAT YOU WILL LOVE

1. Versatility

Applied through the right mid-subcostal port, the Kumar Clamp is used as a
  • regular grasper during dissection of cystic duct and during removal of gallbladder from the liver bed.

  • cholangiography clamp.

No need to introduce and remove different instruments for different parts of the same operation.

2. No Cystic Ductotomy

Injury due to mistaken ductotomy of the common bile duct (Type I injury) is eliminated!

3. No Cystic Duct Cannulation

The "pain" is gone!


4. Safety

  • No ducts are clipped or divided until the biliary anatomy is PRE-VIEWed.

  • By moving the clamp back and forth during fluoroscopy, you can "uncoil" the cystic duct and evaluate its length.

  • You will be forewarned of the "short" cystic duct.


5. The Aspiration Advantage!

After cholangiography, please note that a 19 ga. needle is located in the dependant portion of the gallbladder. Clamp jaws can be opened and the gallbladder is aspirated. This greatly facilitates the separation of the gallbladder from the liver bed and extraction from the portsite.

6. O.R. Time and Cost Savings

Because Cholangiography is performed in minutes, gallbladder aspiration allows easy removal from the liver and extraction through the portsite, Operating Room Time and Cost Savings are realized.
