Clinical Application
Designed for transanal and transrectal biopsy procedures, these specimen forceps permit controlled removal and retrieval of mucosal and superficial submucosal tissue from the distal rectum. The 42 cm length provides reach sufficient for procedures performed through an anoscope, proctoscope, or direct transanal approach in clinic, office, or OR settings. Common uses include diagnostic biopsies for inflammatory bowel disease, surveillance of neoplastic lesions, and retrieval of small tissue samples for pathology.
Design & Configuration
The instrument features a long, rigid shaft terminating in cup-style specimen jaws that close to capture and retain tissue during withdrawal. The integrated handle enables precise single-handed actuation, allowing the operator to position the jaws, apply controlled bite force, and maintain specimen security during extraction. The 42 cm overall length balances reach with tactile feedback, helping clinicians access distal rectal lesions while maintaining stable control at the handle.
