In recent years, with the high incidence of cervical cancer, annual health screenings for women have become particularly important. Uterine biopsy, as a crucial medical method for effectively screening for cervical lesions, is available in two types of forceps: reusable and disposable, depending on the patient's specific screening needs. However, some people are unfamiliar with biopsy forceps, leading to concerns about infection during cervical biopsies.
Therefore, Chentao Medical Devices provides information on how to choose the right cervical biopsy forceps and why disposable forceps should be used. The specific reasons are as follows:
Cervical biopsy is an invasive procedure, meaning it involves creating a wound on the surface of the cervix during screening. Significant vaginal bleeding may occur after a biopsy; in severe cases, it can lead to various inflammations. Therefore, during cervical biopsies, medical personnel must strictly adhere to sterilization standards using sterile biopsy forceps. Furthermore, povidone-iodine solution must be used to disinfect the vulva and vagina before the biopsy to avoid unnecessary infection. Disposable biopsy forceps, compared to reusable forceps, significantly reduce the risk of cross-infection. In addition to being cheaper, its blade is sharper, allowing for quick cutting and sampling while minimizing wound bleeding.
