Marina Medical 13-1470I 5mm x 18" Laparoscopic Biopsy Punch Forceps (Ratcheting)

The Marina Medical 13-1470I is a professional-grade laparoscopic instrument specifically designed for the atraumatic retrieval of tissue specimens. The 3 mm wide biopsy punch jaws feature a specialized "well" that captures and protects the tissue sample from the mechanical forces of extraction through the trocar. This is a critical tool for oncological staging, endometriosis excision, or any procedure where a clean, intact tissue sample is required for pathology.

Paired with the 13-1363SRI Ratcheting Handle, this instrument provides the surgeon with a mechanical lock to secure the "bite" before withdrawing the instrument. The 18-inch (45 cm) working length makes it a versatile tool for both standard and bariatric applications, ensuring deep-seated lesions in the upper abdomen or pelvis can be reached with ease. The entire shaft is fully insulated, allowing for safe monopolar electrosurgery should the biopsy site require immediate hemostasis.

Clinical & Operational Advantages

• Pathology-Grade Specimens: The punch-style jaws are designed to minimize "crush artifact," ensuring the pathologist receives a high-quality tissue sample for diagnostic accuracy.

• Extended Bariatric Reach: The 45 cm shaft provides the extra length needed for patients with a higher BMI, where 33 cm instruments often fail to reach the target anatomy.

• Controlled Ratcheting Action: The 13-1363SRI handle allows the surgeon to lock the jaws closed onto the specimen, preventing "lost samples" during instrument withdrawal through the valve of the trocar.

• Integrated Patient Safety: High-dielectric insulation prevents capacitive coupling and unintended thermal spread, making it safe for use in the proximity of vital structures.
