Wire Loop Snare

Wire Loop Snare is a specialized endoscopic accessory used to encircle, grasp, and remove targeted tissue or foreign objects during diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Designed for use with compatible flexible endoscopes, the device consists of a flexible catheter containing a retractable wire loop that can be advanced, opened, closed, and repositioned under direct visualization. The wire loop is deployed around the target tissue or object and tightened to secure it for retrieval or excision. Depending on the intended application, the snare may be used for mechanical retrieval or in conjunction with compatible electrosurgical generators for tissue resection and hemostasis. Available in multiple loop shapes, diameters, and wire configurations, Wire Loop Snares can be selected according to anatomical requirements and procedural objectives. Common loop configurations include oval, hexagonal, crescent, and braided designs to optimize tissue capture and retrieval efficiency. The ergonomic control handle enables smooth loop deployment and precise manipulation, enhancing clinician control during minimally invasive procedures. Manufactured from high-quality medical-grade materials, the Wire Loop Snare offers dependable performance and compatibility with a broad range of endoscopic systems. Widely used in hospitals, endoscopy centers, and ambulatory surgical facilities, this device is an essential component of therapeutic endoscopy. Common Clinical Applications Include: Polypectomy Procedures Tissue Resection Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR) Foreign Body Retrieval Lesion Removal Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Bronchoscopic Procedures Urological Endoscopy Diagnostic Endoscopy Therapeutic Endoscopy Specifications Feature Details Product Name Wire Loop Snare Instrument Type Endoscopic Retrieval and Resection Device Function Tissue Capture, Excision, and Retrieval Loop Design Retractable Wire Loop Loop Configurations Oval, Hexagonal, Crescent, or Braided Catheter Design Flexible Catheter Energy Compatibility Mechanical Use or Compatible with Electrosurgical Generators* Handle Design Ergonomic Control Handle Material Medical-Grade Components Sterilization Supplied Sterile Reusability Single-Use Application Gastroenterology, Pulmonology, and Urology *Compatibility with electrosurgical energy depends on the specific snare model.
