Gastrointestinal/airway foreign body retrieval basket, single-use

A gastrointestinal/airway foreign body retrieval basket, single-use is a flexible endoscopic tool designed to be passed through the working channel of an endoscope to retrieve foreign objects from the gastrointestinal tract or airway. It features an expandable basket at its distal tip that opens to ensnare items such as food, toys, or other ingested or inhaled materials, allowing atraumatic removal during procedures, and may also be used to retrieve severed polyps or biopsy specimens.

As a single-use device, it is intended for one procedure only and then discarded to prevent cross-contamination and ensure sterility. Regulatory oversight focuses on its design, materials, and performance as a sterile, disposable accessory for endoscopy, with classification and supply requirements based on its intended use as a non-invasive, non-medicated endoscopic adjunct rather than a standalone therapeutic or diagnostic instrument.
