Endotherapy forceps, biopsy, flexible, single-use

Intended purpose

A flexible endoscopic instrument intended to be used to perform through a compatible endoscope. It is used to obtain specimens for histological/pathological diagnosis during endoscopy. It is typically constructed of a flexible metal coil or plastic tube whose distal end is equipped with a pair of toothed cups, grasping cups or scissor-like cups with a cutting edge around their rim which are operated by a control handle attached at the proximal end of the instrument. It is introduced into the body cavity through an artificial orifice of the body or the working channel of the endoscope.
