Clinical Application
Designed for endorectal use, these forceps facilitate atraumatic capture and retrieval of mucosal and submucosal biopsy specimens during diagnostic proctologic and colorectal procedures. The long 35 cm shaft provides reach for deep rectal access through anoscopes or transanal ports and helps clinicians obtain representative tissue for histopathology with minimal handling.
Design & Configuration
The figure-3 jaw geometry is intended to cradle and secure small biopsy specimens while minimizing crush artifact, supporting better preservation of tissue architecture for pathology review. The extended 35 cm shaft offers improved access to distal and mid-rectal lesions without excessive operator strain. Overall geometry balances reach with control to facilitate accurate sampling in confined rectal anatomy.
