Frequently asked questions
Does this tool help reduce patient discomfort?
Yes, this instrument is specifically designed with a miniature 2.3mm x 4.2mm bite size. This smaller semi-elliptical sample size is clinically advantageous as it typically results in less bleeding and reduced pain for the patient following the biopsy procedure.
How does the wide jaw design assist in procedures?
The jaws feature a 60-degree opening angle, which is wider than standard Tischler punches. This design is highly beneficial for clinicians as it allows for easier access and more effective tissue acquisition from difficult or obscure cervical sites.
Is the tissue sample secure during withdrawal?
Absolutely. To ensure the specimen remains intact, the instrument includes:
- A locking mechanism positioned above the handle horn to secure the sample firmly.
- A single, lower grasping tooth that helps secure challenging tissue during the procedure.
What is the construction quality of this punch?
This is a professional-grade surgical instrument manufactured from high-quality stainless steel. It is built to be durable and is designed for repeated use, backed by a lifetime warranty.
Is the handle design ergonomic for long procedures?
Yes, the instrument features a pistol-style grip. It is equipped with one large ring designed to comfortably accommodate multiple fingers, providing the surgeon with superior stability and control during operation.
What is the length of the instrument shaft?
The Sklar Wide Bite Mini-Tischler Biopsy Punch features an 8-inch straight shaft, providing the necessary reach for effective and precise colposcopy examinations.
Is the material safe for those with latex allergies?
Yes, the product is completely latex-free and is not made with any natural rubber latex, ensuring safety for both the medical staff and patients.
Does this instrument require special handling for sterilization?
The instrument arrives non-sterile and is fully reusable. As it is constructed from high-quality stainless steel, it is designed to withstand standard medical sterilization protocols used in surgical environments.
Is this instrument TAA compliant?
Yes, this product is TAA compliant, meeting the necessary requirements for federal procurement and medical facility standards.
What are the primary advantages of the bite tip configuration?
The tip is precision-engineered for accuracy:
- Semi-elliptical shape: Designed for clean, precise tissue removal.
- Integrated grasping tooth: Ensures that even difficult-to-reach tissue is caught and retained, preventing sample loss during the procedure.
