Clinical Application
Designed for controlled circular tissue excision, this oblique 5 mm punch is intended for removal of small lesions and targeted biopsies where an angled approach is required. The 5 mm cutting diameter provides a predictable core size for histologic sampling or excision of focal soft-tissue abnormalities. The oblique cutting orientation facilitates access to mucosal surfaces, cavities, and other confined or angulated anatomy where a straight punch may be difficult to align.
Design & Configuration
The oblique head geometry places the cutting rim at an angle to the instrument shaft, allowing the surgeon to engage tissue with improved visualization and a more ergonomic wrist position. The 20 cm overall length increases reach into deeper cavities while preserving tactile control during punch advancement and rotation. The circular cutting rim produces a clean, uniform core, minimizing crush artifact and enabling consistent sample retrieval.
