Open-surgery biopsy forceps, single-use are hand-held surgical instruments used to collect soft-tissue samples during open procedures. They are designed to grasp and extract tissue from surgical wounds or near large body openings like the vagina or rectum for laboratory analysis, without accessing through endoscopes or catheters.
These devices are supplied as sterile, single-use instruments and are not intended for reuse. They are manually operated, rely on a squeezing action to activate the biopsy mechanism, and are specifically excluded from bone-cutting functions such as those performed by rongeurs.
