FB-26N-1 – Reusable Biopsy Forceps Designed for Efficiency and Compatibility in Endoscopy
The Olympus FB-26N-1 biopsy forceps are a medical instrument specially designed for healthcare professionals performing biopsies in an endoscopic setting. Designed to be reusable, they are manufactured with particular attention to precision, patient safety and compatibility with a wide range of Olympus endoscopes. Its 2.8 mm diameter makes it a standard tool for a wide variety of digestive procedures, particularly in the exploration of the upper and lower digestive tract.
One of the major advantages of this forceps is its robust construction, which allows for reuse under a validated reprocessing protocol. The flexible metal body is covered with a sheath that allows for good transmission of closing force while maintaining the flexibility necessary for smooth handling within the operating channel. The jaws, designed to maximise tissue grip, ensure good penetration and effective retention of the sample, which is essential for accurate histological diagnosis.
The working length of 1800 mm makes the FB-26N-1 forceps perfectly compatible with standard endoscopes for digestive examinations. This length is particularly well suited to gastroscopes and colonoscopes used in routine procedures.
The FB-26N-1 fits easily into working channels thanks to its slim, ergonomic design. Its reliable jaw closure ensures clean and efficient tissue collection, reducing errors or specimen loss. This level of performance makes this forceps indispensable in any gastroenterology department, where precision and reproducibility are paramount.
This model is also designed to integrate fully into Olympus reprocessing protocols, ensuring patient safety while controlling the costs associated with the use of medical devices. It is a wise choice for institutions concerned with quality, efficiency and long-term profitability.
