Surgery forceps diagnostic FTRD®

proctoscopybiopsy

The diagnostic FTRD® is a smaller FTRD® System for full-thickness biopsy in the colon and rectum for diagnostic purposes. It enables histology in functional diseases of the colonic wall e.g. for neuro-gastroenterological examination. Full-thickness biopsies allow accurate histological presentation of enteric neurons and can provide important insights into the diagnosis of motility disorders. Full-thickness biopsy finds application in: • hypo- and aganglionosis (e.g. Hirschsprung’s disease) • enteric ganglionitis • visceral neuro- and myopathy (e.g. in chronic constipation) • gastrointestinal amyloidosis • enteric manifestation of neurological diseases (e.g. Parkinson’s disease)
