Single‑Use Flexible Cystoscopy Biopsy Forceps – 1.8 mm x 60 cm
These single-use flexible cystoscopy biopsy forceps are designed to support accurate, reliable bladder tissue sampling in office-based and outpatient cystoscopy. The 1.8 mm smooth biopsy cups provide controlled, predictable bites, while the Oly-style thumb-action handle gives the operator precise tactile feedback and maneuverability through standard flexible cystoscope working channels.
By combining a slim 1.8 mm profile with a 60 cm working length, these forceps are optimized specifically for flexible cystoscopy rather than long-length GI applications. This helps urologists perform diagnostic biopsies efficiently in the clinic, without the complexity and turnaround time associated with reusable instruments and reprocessing.
Product features
- Single-use flexible cystoscopy biopsy forceps for bladder and lower urinary tract biopsies in the office, clinic, or ambulatory surgery center (ASC).
- Smooth biopsy cups engineered for consistent, clean tissue sampling through a 2.0 mm (6 Fr) flexible cystoscope working channel.
- Oly-style thumb-action handle offers intuitive, tactile control and precise opening and closing of the cups throughout the procedure.
- 1.8 mm outer diameter and 60 cm working length, sized for flexible cystoscopy and navigation of the bladder under direct vision.
- Minimum channel size 2.0 mm (6 Fr), following cystoscope manufacturer recommendations for safe and effective use.
- Supplied sterile and ready to use in a sealed pack; no reprocessing, repairs, or maintenance required, supporting efficient workflow and infection control.
- Designed to complement a broad range of flexible cystoscopes, making it easy to standardize a single disposable biopsy solution across your urology practice.
Indications & typical use
These single-use flexible biopsy forceps are intended for endoscopic tissue sampling during diagnostic and surveillance cystoscopy procedures. Typical use scenarios include:
- Office-based flexible cystoscopy biopsies for suspected or recurrent bladder lesions and urothelial abnormalities.
- Surveillance biopsies under local anesthesia to evaluate new or residual urothelial changes during follow-up cystoscopy in patients with a history of bladder cancer.
- Sampling of flat, small, or irregular mucosal lesions where smooth cups and predictable closure are important for specimen size, depth, and integrity.
- Situations where a sterile, single-use device is preferred to reduce turnaround time and eliminate the risk of cross-contamination associated with complex reusable instruments.
As with any endoscopic accessory, always follow the device Instructions for Use (IFU), your cystoscope manufacturer’s recommendations, and your facility’s protocols for each procedure.

Clinical and operational benefits
- Supports high-quality diagnostic specimens by combining smooth cups with a stable, well-aligned jaw mechanism.
- Helps streamline cystoscopy sessions by removing the need to track, transport, and reprocess reusable biopsy instruments.
- Reduces potential downtime related to damaged or missing reusable forceps, as each case uses a new, sterile device.
- Aligns with infection-prevention programs that favor single-use endoscopic accessories where appropriate.
