The Raptor grasping device combines alligator grasping forceps and rat tooth capabilities into one device, helping to increase gripping ability for a stronger hold during foreign body retrieval and stent removal. The foreign body grasping forceps is available in three different sizes offering the versatility needed during endoscopic procedures of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract and biliary tract.
How the Raptor grasping device works
Endoscopic grasping instruments, such as rat tooth forceps, are most often used for the management of ingested foreign bodies and food impactions. The Raptor grasping device is intended to be used to grasp tissue and/or retrieve foreign bodies, excised tissue, and stents during endoscopic procedures. The device offers a hybrid jaw configuration, maximizing the precision and strength of a disposable alligator forceps and rat tooth forceps endoscopy device in one.
Why the Raptor grasping device?
The Raptor grasping device offers the following features:
- Hybrid jaw grasping forceps configuration, combines alligator and rat tooth forceps capabilities into one, increasing the gripping ability for a stronger hold
- Distal rat tooth forceps teeth are designed to fully close around foreign bodies such as a safety pin
- Flexible distal wire that operates in retroflexed positions including duodenoscopes for retrieval of biliary stents
- The Raptor grasping device – mini features a smaller hybrid jaw and catheter option for tight conditions and procedures requiring an ultra-slim endoscope.
- The Raptor™ grasping device – 360 is a rotatable grasping device that offers full 360-degree rotatable forceps and handle for ease of access and positioning during endoscopic retrieval.
