Clinical Application
Designed to obtain small tissue specimens with precision, these biopsy forceps are used to grasp and excise mucosal or soft-tissue samples in procedures that require extended reach. The 24 cm length provides access to deeper lesions or cavities from an external approach or through portals in procedures commonly encountered in ENT, head & neck, thoracic access, and general surgical settings where a compact but long instrument is needed for targeted sampling.
Design & Configuration
The slender, long-shaft geometry delivers reach without excessive bulk, allowing surgeons to position the jaws precisely at the target while maintaining good visualization of the working field. Biopsy-style jaws are configured to take controlled bites of tissue with minimal crush artifact, improving specimen integrity for histopathology. The handpiece provides direct tactile feedback to the operator to control bite depth and release.
