Clinical Application
This shaft is intended for use with rectal biopsy specimen forceps to obtain mucosal tissue samples from the rectum and distal sigmoid colon during diagnostic and outpatient procedures such as anoscopy, proctoscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy. The biopsy cup jaw configuration captures small mucosal bites for histologic examination and culture when required, supporting evaluation for inflammatory disease, infection, neoplasia and other proctologic indications.
Design & Configuration
The 42 cm shaft length provides extended reach appropriate for rectal and distal colonic access while maintaining tactile control at the handle. A shaft-only format allows replacement of a worn or damaged shaft without replacing the complete instrument assembly, limiting lifecycle cost and downtime. The straight, slender shaft profile facilitates passage through anoscopes and rigid or flexible accessory channels while preserving alignment and jaw articulation at the distal tip.
