Hysteroscopy Oval Serrated Cup Biopsy Forceps

Description

Instrument:

• During a hysteroscopy operation, tissue samples are obtained from the interior of the uterus.

Design:

• Oval cup: The grabbing end most likely includes an oval-shaped aperture to capture tissue. This form may be advantageous for navigating confined places inside the uterus.
• Serrated teeth: Small teeth on the inside surface of the gripping cup are most likely used to tightly grab tissue. Serrated edges may aid to keep the tissue from sliding out of the forceps.
• Single action, semi-rigid: The forceps is likely to open and shut with a single squeeze and keep its form while in use, providing some control when traversing the uterus.
• Size: The instrument is expected to be slender and fragile, with a diameter of around 5Fr (1.6mm in French).
• Length: The working length is most likely approximately 40cm, providing access to the whole uterine chamber.

Benefits (potential):

• Improved tissue acquisition: The oval shape and serrated teeth may be useful for grabbing and retaining tissue samples during hysteroscopy.
• Maneuverability: The oval shape and narrow profile may help you navigate the curvature of the uterus.
