The XL-11 is a single-use cholangiography catheter for intraoperative bile duct imaging via percutaneous abdominal wall access. The companion to the port-access LAP-13 in the Ranfac cholangiography family.
Caution: Federal (USA) law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
The Ranfac XL-11 is a single-use cholangiography catheter for intraoperative bile duct imaging via percutaneous abdominal wall access. The device supports controlled contrast delivery into the cystic duct for fluoroscopic visualization of biliary anatomy during cholecystectomy or related procedures. Each device ships sterile, ethylene-oxide processed, and individually packaged.
XL-11 is the percutaneous-access cholangiography catheter in the Ranfac surgical-instrument portfolio. The port-access LAP-13 is the trocar-delivered alternate — selected when a laparoscopic port is already in place near the cystic duct for direct visualization.
Refer to the device Instructions for Use for the full indications, contraindications, warnings, and procedure. The XL-11 is intended for use in intraoperative cholangiography during biliary surgery via percutaneous access.
Surgeons use intraoperative cholangiography catheters during cholecystectomy and biliary surgery to visualize biliary anatomy. The XL-11 is delivered through the abdominal wall percutaneously, which can be preferred when trocar port real estate is limited or percutaneous catheter routing is part of the surgical plan.
Intraoperative cholangiography during laparoscopic gallbladder removal where percutaneous access is preferred.
Imaging of cystic, common, and intrahepatic bile ducts during open or laparoscopic procedures.
Used when trocar port real estate is limited and percutaneous catheter access is feasible.
Used across general, bariatric, gynecologic, and urologic laparoscopic procedures where the device is part of the surgeon's standard instrument set.

The following is a high-level summary. Refer to the device Instructions for Use for complete procedure, contraindications, and warnings.
Intraoperative cholangiography during biliary surgery — contrast delivery into the cystic duct for fluoroscopic visualization of bile duct anatomy. Delivered via percutaneous abdominal wall access.
Both are Ranfac cholangiography catheters. The XL-11 is delivered percutaneously through the abdominal wall. The LAP-13 is the port-access variant, delivered through a standard laparoscopic trocar.
No. The XL-11 is a single-use device — supplied sterile and disposed of after a single procedure per facility policy.
Ethylene oxide (EO). The device is shipped sterile and is not made with natural rubber latex.

Percutaneous delivery (XL-11) is preferred when trocar port real estate is limited or when the surgeon's plan calls for catheter routing through the abdominal wall rather than through a laparoscopic port. The port-access LAP-13 is the trocar-delivered variant.
