During an endoscopic biopsy, biopsy forceps are used to remove a sample of tissue in order to diagnose if a suspicious area is a benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) disease. Biopsies can be performed during a variety of procedures, such as an upper endoscopy or colonoscopy.
To address various scope sizes and disease states, Boston Scientific’s newest generation of biopsy forceps, Radial Jaw® 4 Biopsy Forceps, are designed with many ease of use features. They are also designed to collect large tissue specimens for sample handling, preparation, and histological diagnosis.
