Polypectomy Snare

Polypectomy Snare is a specialized endoscopic accessory used for the removal of polyps and selected mucosal lesions within the gastrointestinal tract. Designed for use with compatible flexible endoscopes, the device consists of a flexible insulated catheter containing a retractable wire loop that can be extended, opened, and closed under direct endoscopic visualization. During the procedure, the snare loop is positioned around the base or stalk of the target lesion and gradually tightened to secure the tissue. When connected to a compatible electrosurgical generator, controlled cutting and coagulation energy can be delivered to facilitate tissue resection while supporting hemostasis. Available in multiple loop shapes, diameters, and wire configurations, Polypectomy Snares enable clinicians to select the most appropriate design for various lesion sizes, anatomical locations, and procedural techniques. Common loop configurations include oval, hexagonal, crescent, and braided wire designs to optimize tissue capture and resection efficiency. The ergonomic control handle provides smooth loop deployment, precise manipulation, and reliable operation throughout the procedure. Manufactured from high-quality medical-grade materials, the Polypectomy Snare offers dependable performance and compatibility with standard endoscopic systems and electrosurgical generators. Widely used in hospitals, endoscopy centers, and ambulatory surgical facilities, this device is an essential component of therapeutic gastrointestinal endoscopy. Common Clinical Applications Include: Endoscopic Polypectomy Colonoscopy Procedures Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) Removal of Sessile Lesions Removal of Pedunculated Polyps Tissue Excision Therapeutic Endoscopy Hemostasis Support Lesion Retrieval Specifications Feature Details Product Name Polypectomy Snare Instrument Type Endoscopic Resection Device Function Polyp Capture, Resection, and Retrieval Loop Design Conductive Wire Loop Loop Configurations Oval, Hexagonal, Crescent, or Braided Catheter Design Flexible Insulated Catheter Energy Compatibility Compatible with Electrosurgical Generators Handle Design Ergonomic Control Handle Material Medical-Grade Components Sterilization Supplied Sterile Reusability Single-Use Application Gastroenterology and Therapeutic Endoscopy Frequently Asked Questions What is a Polypectomy Snare used for?
