Olympus FB-24E-1 Biopsy Forceps: a Reusable Solution for Routine Endoscopic Biopsies
The FB-24E-1 biopsy forceps are designed to meet the requirements of healthcare professionals in diagnostic endoscopy. Developed by Olympus, they are part of a range of endotherapy instruments renowned for their compatibility and effectiveness. This model stands out for its reusable structure, allowing for long-term integration into clinical workflows without compromising sampling accuracy. The diameter of its gripping head and its overall dimensions have been specifically designed to fit 2.8 mm working channels, ensuring easy navigation in compatible endoscopes.
The FB-24E-1 model features a design that limits mechanical impact on the channel walls while ensuring a clean and secure tissue grip. Its jaw, made from materials resistant to repeated sterilisation, ensures consistent performance over repeated use. Thanks to its rounded tip, the forceps facilitate gentle insertion and reduce the risk of abrasion or mucosal trauma during progression through the endoscope.
Suitable for sampling in the gastrointestinal tract, the FB-24E-1 fits easily into standard biopsy protocols, particularly during diagnostic oesophagogastroduodenal or colonic endoscopies. The device is intuitive to use for professionals thanks to its flexible yet sturdy shaft, which provides good tactile feedback when the jaws are closed. This allows for precise control and efficiency when collecting the target tissue, without altering the morphology of the sample.
The FB-24E-1 forceps combine mechanical reliability, instrument compatibility and ease of use. Their durability makes them the preferred choice for establishments seeking to balance quality of care and optimised management of reusable endoscopic devices. They are therefore a trusted tool for gastroenterologists who want to guarantee reliable samples while optimising the service life of their instruments.
