The cold family is used without current.
Intended use: A single-use snare for the endoscopic removal of polyps and tissue from the GI tract, in an electrosurgical family and a cold family used without current.
In cold snare polypectomy the loop is closed around the polyp and cuts it without current. ESGE 2024 recommends cold snare polypectomy for polyps up to 9 mm, and does not recommend removal with cold biopsy forceps because of incomplete resection (Ferlitsch et al., Endoscopy 2024;56:516-545). The cold family on this page is used without current, which its instructions for use state for small polyps.
In hot snare polypectomy the loop is closed and the polyp is cut with electrosurgical current. ESGE 2024 recommends hot snare for a non-pedunculated adenoma of 10 to 19 mm and conventional EMR for 20 mm and larger. The electrosurgical family on this page is connected to a generator and can cut with current.
The electrosurgical family is the 5075 (oval), 5076 (shield) and 5078 (round) series, in class IIb. The cold family is the 5332, 5335 (oval), 5336 (shield) and 5338 series, in class IIa. The models table lists the family of every code.
The electrosurgical family is connected to a generator and can cut with current. The cold family is used without current, which its instructions for use state for small polyps.
