Endoscopic urology forceps pass through the working channel or sheath of an endoscope to grasp or sample material. Listings here cover rigid, semi-rigid and flexible designs. Urology biopsy forceps include optical cup forceps, while urology grasping forceps include alligator and double-action designs. Makers on these listings include Olympus, Karl Storz, ACMI and V. Mueller. Clear Choice Medical is an independent dealer, so these brand names identify the maker and nothing more.
French size is the main dimension to match, for example 5 Fr or 7 Fr, along with working length in centimeters. Some rigid optical forceps list the endoscope angle they fit, so check that angle in degrees against your endoscope. Also compare the jaw pattern, such as cup or alligator jaws, and whether the forceps open by single or double action. Read the model number in each title to confirm which system family a forceps belongs to.
Listings change often because many forceps are single items. Browse the urology forceps above, or reach out to Clear Choice Medical for more detail on any listing before you order.
Common questions about Urology Forceps (Surgical)
What are stone crushing forceps?
Stone crushing forceps are endoscopic forceps with jaws made to grasp and crush stones. Federal device rules define a mechanical lithotriptor as a device with steel jaws that grasps and crushes bladder stones. Titles may call these instruments stone forceps or stone crushing forceps. Lithotrite is another name for an instrument that crushes a stone inside the bladder. Not every stone forceps crushes, since some are made only to grasp. Read the title for the word crushing or grasping. Then compare jaw action, shaft size and working length. Match the model number to your endoscope system before you order.
What is the difference between rigid and flexible cystoscopy forceps?
Rigid and flexible cystoscopy forceps differ in the same way as the endoscopes they work with. Cystoscopes come in two main types, one rigid and one flexible. Many have extra channels that guide other instruments. Rigid forceps have a stiff straight shaft for rigid systems. Olympus, for example, builds an instrument guide into its OES Pro rigid cystoscope sheath. Flexible forceps have a shaft that bends, so they can follow a flexible endoscope. Flexible endoscope makers state a channel width, as Olympus does for its CYF-5. Compare forceps size and working length with the endoscope maker's specifications.
What is the difference between urology biopsy forceps and grasping forceps?
Biopsy forceps remove a tissue sample, while grasping forceps hold material. A biopsy instrument is defined as a device that removes a tissue specimen for microscopic examination by cutting or aspiration. Forceps in general are hinged instruments for grasping and holding objects. Urology biopsy forceps titles often name a cup jaw. Delete the sentence. Grasping forceps titles often name the jaw, such as alligator. Read the jaw name first, then compare size and working length.
