Clinical Application
Designed for procurement of mucosal biopsy specimens from the rectum and distal sigmoid colon, this instrument is used in proctology, colorectal surgery and endoscopic procedures where targeted mucosal sampling is required for histopathology. Its length and specimen-cup jaw are intended to access lesions or representative mucosa through an anoscope, proctoscope or during rigid sigmoidoscopy, and to preserve tissue integrity for pathological assessment.
Design & Configuration
The long-shaft configuration provides reach to the rectum and distal colon while keeping the operator's hands clear of the field. A compact biopsy specimen cup geometry focuses tissue capture at the jaws to produce reproducible mucosal bites with minimal crushing. The Yeoman Fig. 1 configuration is commonly selected when secure specimen retention and controlled sampling depth are priorities during transanal or endoscopic biopsy procedures.
