Abstract
Biopsy forceps devices used to obtain tissue samples from a patient using an endoscopic system include larger cup size, longer jaw length, a squared front face, a tapered jaw design, and an offset pivot to enable taking a larger sample size. The forceps include a drive wire attached to the jaws by linkages having pins slidable within slots on the jaws of the forceps, providing the offset pivot point.
