Norwood Rectal Polypus Snare bayonet 30cm

Clinical Application

Engineered for transanal polypectomy and endoscopic removal of polypoid tissue within the rectum, this instrument is used to encircle and resect pedunculated and selectable sessile lesions under direct visualization. The device is suitable for use in outpatient procedures performed through an anoscope, rigid sigmoidoscope, or proctoscope and is commonly employed during diagnostic and therapeutic anorectal procedures where precise mechanical capture of tissue is required. When electrocautery is indicated, clinicians commonly deploy a snare loop in combination with electrosurgical current to achieve simultaneous resection and hemostasis.

Design & Configuration

The bayonet configuration provides an offset shaft axis so the operator's hands remain clear of the line of sight, improving visualization in the confined rectal vault and facilitating access around the curvature of the anorectal canal. The 30 cm length offers reach appropriate for proctologic and short-segment endoscopic procedures while maintaining tactile control. A flexible wire loop at the distal end permits atraumatic encirclement of the lesion and controlled closure to effect mechanical transection or to position tissue prior to cautery.
