The table lists the single-use family; the fifteen models of the reusable family are not in it.

A wire loop snare used to resect pedunculated and sessile polyps during colonoscopy and gastroscopy.

In which cases?

Cold snare polypectomy of a small polyp during screening colonoscopy.
A pedunculated polyp taken hot, with the stalk transected in one pass.
A large sessile lesion removed piecemeal across several passes.
A mucosectomy where the lesion is lifted first and then taken with the loop.

What makes it different?

Oval, hexagonal and asymmetric loops, matched to the lesion.
Monofilament or braided wire, so the cut is set for a thin or a thick stalk.
Rotates through 360 degrees, so the loop is turned onto a polyp sitting behind a fold.
Insulated tip versions, so the sheath tip is not a current path against the wall.
Single-use and reusable families, so the unit chooses between a sterile pack and a reprocessed loop.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the single-use and the reusable snare?

Reprocessing and what it costs. The single-use snare comes sterile with a 36 month shelf life. The reusable snare is supplied non-sterile, is steam sterilized before every use and is allowed no more than 30 cycles; eleven of its models also carry an MR unsafe statement on the label, which is the line to check before a patient goes into the scanner.

Which loop shapes are supplied?

Three shapes in the single-use family: an oval loop on fifteen models, a hexagonal loop on three and an asymmetric loop on two. The models table gives the loop shape of every order number.
