The Clinical Application of Disposable Medical Biopsy Forceps in Respiratory Surgery

Abstract: With the continuous evolution of medical devices, disposable medical biopsy forceps have become increasingly important in various clinical departments. This article explores the significance of disposable biopsy forceps in procedures such as bronchoscopy, lung tissue biopsy, and airway foreign body removal. It focuses on their advantages in operational efficiency, infection control, and patient safety.

Introduction: As respiratory diseases increase worldwide, the demand for respiratory diagnostics and treatment has risen significantly. Disposable medical biopsy forceps, known for their convenience, safety, and cost-effectiveness, are widely used in respiratory surgeries. In the past, the design and materials of biopsy forceps required repeated use, posing a high risk of infection. Disposable forceps, with their cost-effective design and superior performance, have largely replaced traditional forceps.

Disposable medical biopsy forceps are usually made from high-strength polymers. Compared to traditional reusable forceps, the disposable version offers clear advantages. The design ensures effective sample collection and allows for better control during procedures, minimizing tissue damage. Moreover, being disposable eliminates the need for pre- and post-operative cleaning and disinfection, further reducing the risk of cross-infection.

In respiratory surgeries, common procedures include bronchoscopy, lung biopsy, and airway foreign body removal. Bronchoscopy is an important diagnostic tool for observing airway lesions, lung biopsies are used to obtain lung tissue samples for analysis, and airway foreign body removal addresses patients who have inhaled objects. In these surgeries, physicians must act quickly and precisely to ensure patient safety and health.

In bronchoscopy, disposable medical biopsy forceps can effectively obtain bronchial secretions and tissue samples with a relatively simple procedure. Clinical data shows that bronchoscopy using disposable forceps has a success rate of over 95%, and patients also experience significantly reduced recovery times post-surgery.

Lung biopsies are a crucial step in diagnosing respiratory diseases. Research indicates that patients undergoing lung biopsies with disposable forceps have lower rates of bleeding and infection compared to those using traditional forceps. This data demonstrates that disposable forceps not only improve procedural safety but also reduce post-operative complications.

For airway foreign body removal, quickly and accurately retrieving the foreign object is essential. The flexible design of disposable medical biopsy forceps allows doctors to adapt better to the complex airway structure, increasing the success rate of these procedures. Clinical cases show that patients undergoing foreign body removal with disposable forceps recover well, with a very low incidence of post-operative complications.

Disposable medical biopsy forceps have demonstrated significant clinical value in respiratory surgeries, particularly in improving surgical success rates and reducing infection risks. Looking ahead, with advancements in material technology and continuous innovation in medical devices, the future application prospects for disposable biopsy forceps are promising.
