Single-Use Flexible Cystoscopy Biopsy Cup w/ Teeth Forceps – 1.8 mm x 60 cm
Single-use flexible cystoscopy biopsy forceps with toothed cup jaws designed for reliable bladder tissue sampling in office-based and outpatient urology settings. The toothed cups provide a more secure grip on friable, bleeding, or exophytic lesions to help ensure diagnostic-quality specimens reach pathology intact.

Indications & clinical use
Use during flexible cystoscopy and other endoscopic procedures that accept a 1.8 mm instrument for:
- Office-based biopsies of suspected or recurrent bladder tumors.
- Surveillance biopsies under local anesthesia to assess new or residual lesions.
- Sampling of small, raised, or irregular lesions where standard smooth cups may slip.
Key benefits
- Stronger grip on friable tissue: Toothed cups “lock in” to soft, bleeding, or exophytic lesions, reducing partial bites, slippage, and lost specimens.
- Consistent performance: Single-use jaws maintain sharpness and alignment case-to-case, so closure force, bite depth, and specimen size stay predictable.
- Infection-control friendly: Disposable, sterile design removes reprocessing steps and eliminates cross-contamination risk from reusable jaws and cables.
Ideal when specimen integrity and reliable transfer from lesion to pathology are your top priorities in flexible cystoscopy.

Frequently asked questions
What are these flexible cystoscopy biopsy forceps used for?
These single-use flexible cystoscopy biopsy forceps with a toothed cup are used to obtain bladder and lower urinary tract tissue samples during office-based and outpatient cystoscopy, especially when lesions are small, friable, or exophytic.
Why choose a single-use biopsy cup with teeth instead of reusable forceps?
A single-use biopsy cup with teeth offers consistent sharpness and alignment for each case, provides stronger grip on delicate or bleeding lesions, and removes the need for complex reprocessing or sterilization steps between patients.
What cystoscope channel size is required for this biopsy forceps?
These flexible cystoscopy biopsy forceps are designed for standard flexible cystoscopes with a working channel of at least 2.0 mm (6 Fr); always confirm compatibility with your specific cystoscope IFU.
Can this single-use biopsy forceps be reprocessed or resterilized?
No. This device is supplied sterile and intended strictly for single use. It should not be reprocessed or resterilized and must be disposed of according to your facility’s sharps and biohazard protocols after each procedure.
