Colclough Punch down 3mm, 15cm

Clinical Application

This down-facing 3 mm coring punch provides a controlled circular excision for procurement of small tissue specimens and for creating precise openings in soft tissue. Its 3 mm diameter is suited to punch biopsies, targeted soft-tissue debulking, graft sizing and other procedures that require consistent, minimal-diameter cores with limited collateral tissue trauma. The instrument facilitates predictable specimen retrieval for histopathology and efficient closure of the defect created.

Design & Configuration

The down-oriented coring tip concentrates cutting force on the 3 mm circumference to produce clean, well-defined cores while minimizing compression of adjacent tissue. The 15 cm overall length provides extended reach and improved ergonomic control in confined fields or deeper working planes. The design delivers tactile feedback during penetration and rotation, helping the operator control depth and avoid excessive tissue undermining.
