Flexible endoscopic biopsy forceps are reusable, manual instruments designed to collect tissue samples during endoscopic procedures like bronchoscopy or laparoscopy. Their flexible, coil-like design allows navigation through narrow body passages, while scissors-like cups at the tip cut and hold tissue for biopsy analysis.
These devices are typically regulated as surgical instruments and must meet safety and performance standards for reuse, including sterilization protocols. They are often supplied as part of endoscopic kits or as standalone tools, requiring proper handling to ensure clinical efficacy and patient safety.
