Tissue ForcepsCategory: INSTRUMENTARIUM Source: A Manual Of Peroral Endoscopy And Laryngeal Surgery With the forceps illustrated in Fig. 28 specimens of tissue may be removed for biopsy from the lower air and food passages with ease and certainty. They have a cross in the outer blade which holds the specimen removed. The action is very delicate, there being no springs, and the sense of touch imparted is often of great aid in the diagnosis. [FIG. 27.--The author's upper-lobe bronchus forceps. At A is shown the full-curved form, for reaching into the ascending branches of the upper-lobe bronchus A number of different forms of jaws are made in this kind of forceps. Only 2 are shown.] [FIG 28--The author's endoscopic tissue forceps. The laryngeal length is 30 cm. For esophageal use they are made 50 and 60 cm. long. These are the best forceps for cutting out small specimens of tissue for biopsy.] The large basket punch forceps shown in Fig. 33 are useful in removing larger growths or specimens of tissue from the pharynx or larynx. A portion or the whole of the epiglottis may be easily and quickly removed with these forceps, the laryngoscope introduced along the dorsum of the tongue into the glossoepiglottic recess, bringing the whole epiglottis into view. The forceps may be introduced through the laryngoscope or alongside the tube. In the latter method a greater lateral action of the forceps is obtainable, the tube being used for vision only. These forceps are 30 cm. long and are made in two sizes; one with the punch of the largest size that can be passed through the adult laryngoscope, and a smaller one for use through the anterior-commissure laryngoscope and the child's size laryngoscope. [FIG. 29.--The author's papilloma forceps. The broad blunt nose will scalp off the growths without any injury to the normal basal tissues. Voice-destroying and stenosing trauma are thus easily avoided.] [FIG. 30.--The author's short mechanical spoon (30 cm. long).] Next: Papilloma Forceps Previous: Tucker Forceps
