Gellhorn Biopsy Fcps 23cm

Clinical Application

Gellhorn-pattern biopsy forceps with a 23 cm shaft are intended to obtain targeted tissue samples where a firm, controlled bite and extended reach are required. The instrument is used to grasp and excise small tissue specimens from mucosal or soft-tissue sites during surgical procedures that may include deep access in open or minimally invasive cases. The 23 cm length provides added reach for pelvic, abdominal, or other deep-field sampling where hand-held biopsy tools are preferred.

Design & Configuration

The Gellhorn jaw geometry is configured to provide secure purchase on tissue and reduce slippage during specimen acquisition. A slim, elongated shaft improves access into confined or deep operative fields while preserving tactile feedback for the operator. The hand-held forceps configuration enables controlled manual actuation for precise positioning and bite control, which is important when obtaining intact tissue cores for histopathology.
