Abstract
A dual operation grasping forceps for use with an endoscope includes an elongated tube having a control mechanism along a first end, and a grasping section along a second end. The grasping section includes a plurality of resilient wire members each having a loop along a distal end. A cable is positioned through the loops to form a circular or triangular shape snare. The grasping members are independently connected to the control mechanism by a first operating wire, and the cable is independently connected to the control mechanism by a second operating wire. The control mechanism selectively moves the grasping section between a retracted position, an extended position and a closed position.
