The Heywood Smith Gall Bladder Forceps 200 mm by SMS Instruments are precision-designed surgical tools used for controlled grasping and manipulation of the gallbladder and biliary structures during various surgical procedures. With a slightly shorter length than its 250 mm counterpart, this 200 mm version offers improved maneuverability in laparotomy or open cholecystectomy where deep access is not required but surgical precision is essential.
These forceps are manufactured from high-grade surgical stainless steel, ensuring durability, autoclavability, and corrosion resistance even under rigorous sterilization cycles. The narrow, curved jaws are equipped with fine atraumatic serrations, allowing the surgeon to securely hold delicate gallbladder tissues without causing damage, rupture, or bile leakage — particularly critical in cases involving chronic cholecystitis or fragile anatomy.
The Heywood Smith design is recognized for its balanced feel and fine-tip control, giving surgeons a superior level of accuracy during gallbladder dissection, traction, and exposure of key anatomical landmarks such as the cystic duct and artery. The instrument’s 200 mm length offers a compact, controlled grip, ideal for situations where a long-shafted tool may not be necessary.
This instrument is widely used in general surgery, hepatobiliary surgery, and minimally invasive gallbladder procedures, providing essential functionality in both emergency and elective operations.
