Rigid endoscopic biopsy forceps, single-use

Rigid endoscopic biopsy forceps, single-use are manual instruments designed to collect tissue samples during minimally invasive endoscopic procedures such as laparoscopy, thoracoscopy, arthroscopy, and spinoscopy. They consist of a long shaft with a scissor-like cutting mechanism at the tip, operated by a proximal handle, and are inserted through an endoscope’s working channel or a small incision to obtain biopsies for diagnostic evaluation.

As single-use devices, these forceps are intended for one procedure only and are discarded afterward to prevent cross-contamination. They are regulated as medical devices based on their intended use and design, with classification determined by jurisdictional regulations; they do not contain drugs, electronics, or electrosurgical components and are supplied sterile for immediate clinical use.
