US Endoscopy’s urology division introduces biopsy device

Medical device company US Endoscopy‘s urology division has released a new product, a biopsy and retrieval forceps device.

The Mentor, Ohio-based company’s Alligator forceps provides the grip needed to safely and securely collect a biopsy or foreign bodies from the bladder or kidney, according to a statement from the company.

Last year, the company formed its US Urology division to create devices to address urologists’s problems in stone management, foreign body retrieval and tissue acquisition.

“US Endoscopy has been successful in the gastrointestinal surgical market for over 20 years,” said CEO Gulam Khan. “We are now extremely excited to expand our abilities, technologies and innovative designs to the urology market.”

US Endoscopy was founded in 1991.
