Multi‐chamber polyp traps are advanced, single‐use devices designed for the safe capture and isolation of tissue specimens—such as polyps, biopsies, or shavings—during endoscopic procedures. Featuring multiple interconnected chambers separated by one‐way valves or mesh filters, these traps minimize specimen loss and cross‐contamination while allowing clinicians to collect sequential samples in a single procedure. The transparent housing provides clear visual confirmation of specimen capture and chamber status, ensuring accurate tracking and retrieval of each fragment for histopathological analysis.
Feature | Specification | Benefit |
---|---|---|
Chamber Count | 2 / 3 / 4 chambers | Sequential isolation of multiple specimens |
Chamber Volume | 2.0 mL per chamber | Adequate capacity for small to moderate tissue |
Material | Medical‐grade polypropylene with reinforced PSU | Rigid yet lightweight; biocompatible |
Filter Media | 100 µm mesh or hydrophobic membrane | Retains tissue while allowing fluid passage |
Connection Ports | 3 mm barbed inlet; Luer‐lock outlet | Secure attachment to suction and collection syringes |
Valve Mechanism | One‐way silicone valves | Prevents backflow and cross‐chamber contamination |
Sterilization | Gamma irradiation or ethylene oxide (EO) | Ensures sterility without degrading materials |
Compatibility | Standard endoscope suction lines (3 mm ID) | Fits most gastroscopes, colonoscopes, bronchoscopes |
Packaging | Individually wrapped, peel‐open pouch | Maintains asepsis and ease of handling |
Key Advantages
Specimen Integrity: Dedicated chambers isolate each sample, preventing mixing and ensuring accurate pathology labeling.
Ease of Use: Clear graduations and color‐coded chambers simplify visual monitoring and sample differentiation.
Workflow Efficiency: Multi‐chamber design eliminates the need to change traps between resections, reducing procedure time.
Safety: Integrated one‐way valves and hydrophobic filters block aerosolization and fluid backflow, protecting both patient and staff.
Clinical Applications
Ideal for gastrointestinal and bronchial polypectomy, endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR), and biopsy procedures, multi‐chamber polyp traps streamline specimen collection in busy endoscopy suites. They are indispensable for high‐volume practices where precision, speed, and sterility are paramount—bridging the gap between the procedure room and the pathology lab with reliability and ease.
