Prostate biopsy forceps are surgical instruments used during minimally invasive urologic endoscopy procedures for collecting biopsies. Biopsies are needed for examination of diseased tissue. Testing tissue during biopsy enables to diagnose diseases and determine what kind of treatment is the most appropriate. Forceps are handheld instruments designed for grasping and holding small objects that need to be held while the physician performs a procedure.
Prostate biopsy forceps are commonly used in a prostate biopsy, the procedure of removing small samples from a man’s prostate gland, which can be the first indicator of a cancer. Some side effects can appear after a procedure like blood in the urine or in the ejaculate for several weeks but they do not require a specific treatment and disappear quickly.
Prostate biopsy forceps can be divided into two categories:
• Non-disposable. Forceps are sterilized easily and are resistant to many physical and chemical effects of body fluids and secretions.
• Disposable. Forceps are made of lower quality materials such as plastic in order to dispose of them after a procedure.
Prostate biopsy forceps can be made of carbon steel, stainless steel, chromium or vanadium in order to allow sterilization and durability of tool edges. Some instruments have a locking mechanism, which enables a physician to perform the procedure without any shaking and not damaging patient’s organs.
