In the moving family the cup swings on the 5021, 5029 and 50210 series and the forceps rotates on the 50213 to 50216 series; the channel column is the minimum endoscope channel.

Blank cells: measurements awaited from the manufacturer.

Intended use: A single-use forceps passed through a flexible endoscope to take a tissue sample for pathology, in a standard and a moving-jaw family.

In which cases?

  • A tissue sample taken through the flexible endoscope to establish the pathology.
  • A sample from the stomach or duodenum, the sites the manufacturer's catalogue names.
  • A tangential site such as the oesophagus or the greater curvature, where the catalogue points to the swinging cup.

What makes it different?

  • Swinging cup on the 5021, 5029 and 50210 series, so a biopsy can be taken square to a wall the scope meets at an angle.
  • Rotating forceps on the 50213 to 50216 series, turned onto the lesion from the handle.
  • Plain or toothed cups, with a spike on some series to hold the tissue while the cup closes.
  • Jaw diameters of 1.8, 2.3 and 2.8 mm; the catalogue lists working lengths of 1600 and 2300 mm.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the two families?

The standard forceps opens and closes in line with the scope. In the moving family the cup swings on the 5021, 5029 and 50210 series and the whole forceps rotates on the 50213 to 50216 series.

Which jaw diameter for which channel?

In the manufacturer's catalogue a 1.8 mm jaw needs a 2.0 mm channel, a 2.3 mm jaw a 2.8 mm channel and a 2.8 mm jaw a 3.2 mm channel. The models table gives the channel model by model.
