Rigid endoscopic grasping forceps are reusable, hand-held surgical tools designed to assist in minimally invasive procedures. Used alongside an endoscope, they securely grasp tissue or foreign objects within the body for closer examination, removal, or biopsy during procedures like arthroscopy or gastrointestinal endoscopy.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical instruments and must meet durability, sterility, and performance standards for reuse. They are often supplied as part of a surgical kit or as standalone instruments, requiring proper cleaning, disinfection, and maintenance between uses to ensure safety and functionality.
