admin Category Neurosurgery Endoscopy Typical Use Visualize and treat intraventricular and skull base pathology minimally invasively. Description A rigid or flexible endoscope used to access ventricular systems and skull base regions for tumor biopsy, cyst fenestration, and third ventriculostomy, providing direct visualization with minimal brain retraction and enabling targeted interventions through small craniostomies or endonasal corridors.
Category Endoscopy Diagnostic Typical Use Obtain mucosal tissue samples during endoscopic procedures. Description Small, jawed forceps designed to pass through the working channel of endoscopes to pinch and retrieve mucosal tissue for histopathologic examination during gastroscopy, colonoscopy, and bronchoscopy, enabling diagnosis of inflammation, dysplasia, and malignancy. Forceps come in various cup sizes and designs e.g., … Read more
