Open-surgery biopsy forceps are reusable, hand-held surgical tools used to extract small tissue samples from open wounds or large body orifices like the vagina or rectum. Clinically, they help pathologists examine tissue for diagnostic purposes, such as identifying abnormalities or diseases like cancer.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical instruments and must meet safety and performance standards for reuse. They are often supplied sterile or require sterilization before use, with classification varying by jurisdiction. Always check local regulations for specific requirements.
