Netcare Flexible Biopsy Forceps 1.8mm — 120cm Disposable Endoscopic Biopsy Forceps for GI & Respiratory Procedures
The Netcare Flexible Biopsy Forceps are single-use disposable instruments with a 1.8mm diameter and 120cm working length, specifically designed for precise and safe tissue sampling during endoscopic procedures. They are compatible with flexible bronchoscopes, gastroscopes, and other endoscopes that have a minimum 2.0mm working channel. Engineered for gastroenterologists, pulmonologists, and ENT specialists, these forceps deliver reliable performance with excellent flexibility and sharp cutting jaws while eliminating the risk of cross-contamination associated with reusable instruments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are flexible biopsy forceps used for?
Flexible biopsy forceps are used to obtain tissue specimens during flexible endoscopy — bronchoscopy, upper GI endoscopy, cystoscopy, and similar procedures. Passed through the working channel of a flexible endoscope, the forceps open and close to grasp and remove small tissue samples for histopathological examination.
What diameter and length are the Netcare flexible biopsy forceps?
1.8mm outer diameter, 120cm working length — compatible with the working channels of most standard flexible bronchoscopes (including the Netcare disposable bronchoscope with 2.2mm+ working channel). The 1.8mm diameter allows passage through flexible scopes designed for bronchoscopy and small-calibre endoscopy.
What endoscopes are these forceps compatible with?
Compatible with flexible bronchoscopes, ureteroscopes, and other flexible endoscopes with a working channel of 2.2mm or larger. Confirm your endoscope's working channel diameter before ordering — forceps must be narrower than the working channel internal diameter.
Are the Netcare flexible biopsy forceps single-use or reusable?
Single-use disposable. Single-use biopsy forceps eliminate the risk of tissue contamination between patients and ensure consistent jaw sharpness on every case — critical for obtaining diagnostic-quality specimens. Reusable forceps require complex reprocessing and eventually dull, reducing biopsy yield.
