Olympus FG-32C-1 Forceps: Gripping Power for Bronchial Retrieval
The FG-32C-1 grasping forceps from Olympus are designed to meet the specific requirements of bronchoscopic procedures. This model is renowned for its wide jaw design and rat-tail tip, which is designed to ensure effective capture of foreign objects, even those that are slippery or bulky. The metal construction of this forceps allows for long-term use in demanding clinical environments, with smooth passage through 2.8 mm operating channels.
With a working length of 105 cm and an opening width of 4.7 mm, the FG-32C-1 is particularly well suited for retrieving objects such as coins, button batteries or aspirated fragments, which are often encountered in paediatric settings or in high-risk patients. Its specific design optimises the grip and stability of the captured object, reducing multiple attempts and the risk of injury or irritation to the bronchial mucosa.
Compatible with bronchoscopes (listed under the BF reference), this reusable instrument can be sterilised at 134°C, ensuring a high level of safety for repeated use. Its control mechanism is simple and reliable, guaranteeing smooth handling during procedures. The tip of the forceps, designed to be both firm and atraumatic, allows precise access to sensitive anatomical areas.
Its design is not merely visual: it plays a functional role in anchoring the object to be removed. This model is therefore ideal in situations where rapid and stable recovery of a foreign body is essential, while reducing intervention times.
The FG-32C-1 is therefore a relevant choice for medical teams looking for a reusable, reliable tool that complies with endoscopic safety standards.
This device fits perfectly into endoscopic care protocols where reliability and mechanical precision are decisive factors for the success of the procedure.
