Description

ConMed OptiBite™ Disposable Biopsy Forceps are designed to provide reliable, controlled tissue sampling during gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures. The OptiBite platform is engineered for consistent jaw alignment, smooth insertion through the working channel, and dependable tissue capture across a range of mucosal and submucosal tissue types.

These forceps are available in oval and alligator jaw configurations, with and without a central needle, and with coated jaw options to support different procedural techniques and tissue characteristics. The availability of multiple configurations allows clinicians to select the optimal forceps based on tissue firmness, sampling precision requirements, and bleeding control considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the benefit of alligator vs oval jaws?
   Alligator jaws provide a firmer grip on dense or fibrotic tissue, while oval jaws offer broader contact for flat mucosal surfaces.
2. What does “with needle” mean?
   A central needle helps anchor the tissue before the jaws close, improving targeting accuracy.
3. What does “coated” mean?
   Coated jaws are designed to reduce friction and improve smoothness during tissue capture and release.
4. Are these forceps single-use?
   Yes. OptiBite forceps are disposable and intended for single use only.
