Colclough Punch down 5mm, 15cm

Clinical Application

This down‑facing 5 mm punch is designed for controlled core excision and removal of small tissue fragments in confined surgical fields. Its 15 cm length provides reach into deeper or narrow cavities, enabling precise mucosal biopsies, polyp or lesion removal, and targeted sampling in specialties such as ENT, oral/maxillofacial, dermatologic and general surgery where a small cylindrical tissue specimen is required.

Design & Configuration

The downward orientation of the cutting jaw permits a direct approach from above the target tissue, reducing the need to invert the instrument in tight spaces and improving line-of-sight for the surgeon. The 15 cm shaft balances reach with tactile control, allowing accurate placement of the 5 mm circular punch while minimizing collateral traction on adjacent tissues. A precision-cut circular edge produces consistent cores and facilitates predictable hemostasis compared with non-punch excision techniques.
