Yeoman Rectal Biopsy Specimen Fcps Fig.1 28cm

Clinical Application

Designed for endoanal and transanal biopsy procedures, this forceps provides controlled sampling of rectal mucosa and superficial submucosa for diagnostic histopathology. Common clinical uses include outpatient rectal mucosal biopsies during proctologic evaluation, sampling of suspicious lesions identified on anoscopy or sigmoidoscopy, and intraoperative tissue retrieval where precise, atraumatic bites are required.

Design & Configuration

The instrument's 28 cm shaft length gives reach for rectal access while maintaining tactile feedback at the handles. A single-action ring-handle design allows precise control of jaw closure and bite depth; cup-style specimen jaws are shaped to cradle and retain tissue for reliable transfer to pathology. The long, slim profile minimizes patient trauma and facilitates use through anoscopes or direct transanal approach.
