Elongated Windowed Biopsy Forceps with Needle – FB-24KR-1 Olympus
The Olympus FB-24KR-1 forceps are a reusable biopsy device specially designed for endoscopic procedures requiring precision and efficiency. Its design combines elongated windowed jaws with a central needle, ensuring a firm grip on the tissue while facilitating penetration. This configuration improves the quality of the specimen, particularly for fibrous or slippery tissues, making the device particularly useful in complex diagnostic situations.
The forceps are rotatable, allowing the practitioner to easily adjust the orientation of the jaws according to the patient's anatomy or the location of the lesion. This optimises accessibility and manoeuvrability, even in difficult-to-reach areas. The minimum operating channel diameter required is 2.8 mm, and the forceps are compatible with Olympus GIF endoscopes. They offer an opening capacity of 7.3 mm, allowing for adequate sample size while minimising tissue trauma.
With a working length of 155 cm, it fits perfectly into diagnostic procedures of the upper digestive tract, such as gastroscopies. Its reusability, validated by its autoclavability at 134 °C (273 °F), makes it economically advantageous while meeting strict hospital hygiene standards. The robust construction of the forceps ensures long-lasting durability over many cycles of use without compromising safety or clinical performance.
Olympus offers this forceps, which combines manufacturing excellence with proven reliability in the field. The FB-24KR-1 is an essential tool for healthcare professionals looking for a precise, reliable, rotatable and reusable instrument for endoscopic tissue sampling.
Beyond its mechanical performance, the FB-24KR-1 forceps are designed for practical use in everyday hospital settings. Their robust design reduces the risk of deformation or malfunction over time, minimising interruptions in the endoscopy room.
