Frequently asked questions
Does the wide bite jaw improve tissue collection?
Yes, the wide-bite 60-degree angle jaw is specifically engineered to provide a larger, more precise 3mm x 5mm oval tissue sample compared to standard punches.
Is the locking mechanism reliable for preventing sample loss?
Absolutely. The instrument features a specialized locking wheel at the base of the shaft. Once engaged, it securely fixes the jaws in place, ensuring the tissue sample remains protected during withdrawal from the cervical canal.
Is the handle designed for long-term comfort?
The handle is highly ergonomic, featuring:
- A thumb horn for optimal placement.
- Dual finger rests that provide maximum control and reduce hand fatigue during procedures.
Is this biopsy punch built to last?
Yes, it is constructed from high-grade stainless steel and is a reusable instrument designed for durability in professional settings.
Are any natural rubber latex materials used?
No, this product is completely latex-free, making it safe for use with patients who have latex sensitivities.
Does the design support precision during the procedure?
The instrument utilizes a Burke-style punch mechanism and a double-spring plier system, which together offer high levels of precision and responsiveness when collecting tissue.
What are the dimensions of this instrument?
The Sklar biopsy punch has an overall length of 10-3/4 inches, with a shaft length of approximately 8 inches, providing ideal reach for gynecological procedures.
Is this instrument TAA compliant?

How should I maintain this instrument for longevity?
As a high-quality reusable surgical instrument, it should be processed according to standard hospital protocols for stainless steel surgical tools to maintain its mechanical integrity and the effectiveness of the locking wheel.
What is the primary benefit of the double-spring mechanism?
The double-spring plier mechanism provides smooth, consistent tension, which is essential for controlled operation and accurate tissue excision during delicate sampling.
