What are cold pliers?
Cold pliers are used for biopsy during endoscopic examinations of gastrointestinal tracts to blast tissues for laboratories. Other uses for cold pliers include use in colonoscopy to search for a large intestine for biopsy and to cut and remove polyps. Some have been used in the monitoring of internal operations when the patient is in too unstable condition for severe anesthetic, but can tolerate a slight anesthetic for a short time. The number of medical situations for which cold pliers are preferred by the treatment method. Some have smooth cups and others have alligator jaws. Cold pliers come in different diameters for different sizes of endoscopic or colonoscopic ranges. Some are for multiple use and can be sterilized after each use and some are only one use. They come in different working lengths.
when removing small colon polyps, little -borrists give the pre -defaultSt. that the cold pliers to capture and remove without having to use electrocauterization because it eliminates polyps with low or no occurrence of perforation or bleeding. As shown that polyktomy in three studies reduces the incidents of colorectal cancer by 80%, more colonoscopists learn the art of their removal. Removing polyps above the size of 1/5 inches (5 mm) is not recommended by cold or hot pliers, but electrocauteria can sometimes be the only option for larger.
In gastrointestinal endoscopy, doctors often take several biopsy for laboratory tests for signs of infection, illness or early signs of cancer from the esophagus, stomach and then down to the duodenum, small intestine and large intestine. Any polyps with which they are on the way are usually braked and removed by cold pliers. If endoscopy is to see how previous treatment affected these areas, mo moTissue rvzers can be collected for laboratories to determine the effectiveness of previous treatment procedures so that laboratory results can inform the doctor about what other treatment they might want to consider. Repeatedly usable cold pliers are usually made of easy -to -clean materials for autoclave sterilization.
