Why Choose FG25C as an FG‑53SX / FG‑253SX Alternative?
The FG25C Flexible Cystoscopy Stent Forcep is engineered as a practical solution for urology clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and hospitals that rely on flexible cystoscopy for ureteral stent removal.
- Familiar Oly‑style ergonomics: Oly‑style thumb action handle for intuitive one‑handed operation, fine control, and easy orientation during DJ stent retrieval.
- Secure rat‑tooth grasping: Rat‑tooth jaw design is intended to firmly engage the distal loop of the ureteral stent, helping reduce slippage as the stent is withdrawn through the urethra.
- Slim, flexible shaft for cystoscopic access: 1.8 mm shaft diameter and 65 cm length allow passage through compatible flexible cystoscope working channels while maintaining flexibility and torque response.
- Reusable and autoclave‑ready: Constructed for repeated use with proper cleaning and steam sterilization, helping lower per‑procedure instrument cost compared to single‑use devices.
- Dependable option when OEM forceps are out of stock: Maintain your DJ stent removal schedule when reusable grasping forceps (FG‑53SX or FG‑253SX) are on allocation or extended lead time.

FG‑53SX Compatibility: Frequently Asked Questions
Will FG25C fit my flexible cystoscope?
FG25C is designed with a 1.8 mm shaft to be compatible with flexible cystoscopes that accept 1.8 mm grasping forceps or larger. If your flexible cystoscope currently uses FG‑53SX or FG‑253SX instruments, FG25C is typically suitable from a diameter and use‑case standpoint. Always verify compatibility with your cystoscope’s working channel size, your reprocessing department, and facility policies before clinical use.
Is FG25C autoclavable and truly reusable?
Yes. FG25C is a reusable flexible cystoscopy stent forcep intended for repeated use when processed according to standard cleaning and sterilization protocols. The instrument is compatible with steam sterilization (autoclave) when reprocessed in accordance with the device Instructions for Use and your hospital’s sterilization guidelines.
Is FG25C a direct replacement for FG‑53SX or FG‑253SX?
Functionally, FG25C is designed as an FG‑53SX and FG‑253SX alternative for DJ stent removal and similar grasping applications in the bladder. It mirrors key characteristics—1.8 mm flexible shaft, rat‑tooth jaws, and Oly‑style handle—to support a similar clinical technique and surgeon feel.
Can I also use FG25C for foreign body retrieval?
Yes, the rat‑tooth jaw configuration and flexible shaft make FG25C suitable for grasping and retrieving small foreign bodies from the bladder or lower ureter, when used at the clinician’s discretion and within the scope of the device IFU. For complex foreign body retrieval cases or off‑label applications, follow your institution’s protocols and applicable clinical guidelines.
