Rigid endoscopic grasping forceps, single-use

Definition

A sterile, rigid manual device used in combination with a compatible endoscope to grasp tissue (typically atraumatically) or foreign bodies. It is typically constructed as a very long instrument with one sliding and one stationary rod whose distal ends are equipped with grasping tongs or claws which are operated by scissors-like ring handles at the proximal end of the instrument. It is typically made of metal and plastic materials and is introduced into the body through the working channel of the endoscope to grasp internal structures for observation, excision, and/or biopsy procedures. This is a single-use device.
