Gellhorn Cervical Biopsy and Specimen Forceps

Description

Gellhorn Cervical Biopsy and Specimen Forceps

Gellhorn biopsy forceps punch a sample of cervical tissue for pathology. At 23 cm, they give comfortable reach past the speculum blades.

The 8.6 mm punch

This bite sits at the large end of cervical punch sizes. As a result, one closure often yields enough tissue for the lab. Still, you can angle the jaws to take a smaller edge when needed.

Reach at 23 cm

The extra length helps when the cervix sits high or far back. Meanwhile, your hand stays well outside the line of sight. That way, the colposcope view stays clear during sampling.

Typical uses

Clinicians use punch forceps to sample areas that look abnormal on colposcopy. They also take a directed specimen from a visible lesion. Then the tissue travels to pathology, labeled by site, for review.

Comparing punch sizes

Our range runs from small bites near 5 mm up to this 8.6 mm size. Therefore, Gellhorn biopsy forceps suit teams that favor a larger sample. For finer work, a smaller-bite pattern makes a good companion.

Cleaning Gellhorn biopsy forceps

Pick out any tissue caught in the jaws with a soft brush, never a sharp tool. Afterwards, clean the joint area with the jaws open so fluid reaches every surface. Dry the forceps thoroughly and check that the jaws still meet evenly.
