Sterile, Single-Use Biopsy Forceps For many years, surgeons and surgical departmental managers have requested single-use, disposable rigid forceps for colorectal biopsy. Up to now, only re-usable instruments have been available with all the problems of dismantling, cleaning, autoclaving, reassembly, packing, transport between sites and process traceability. It has often been observed by practitioners that the jaws of re-usable biopsy forceps have a tendency to blunt over time with repeated use, leading to reduction in performance, excessive tissue trauma and patient discomfort.
Stericom’s range of single-use, sterile biopsy forceps addresses these problems and now offers the practitioner a range of disposable instruments to suit individual clinical need.

Each jaw design is available with either a 420mm shaft for biopsy through a 250mm long rectoscope with handgrip assembly, or a 270mm shaft for use with a proctoscope.
