Polyp Trap: Secure Retrieval Solution in Endoscopic Polypectomy

 Clinical Purpose and Device Insight

The Polyp Trap is an endoscopic accessory used to safely collect and retain resected polyps during endoscopic procedures. It is positioned between the endoscope suction channel and the suction source to capture tissue specimens without loss. This device supports effective specimen management during diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy.

Development Path of Specimen Retrieval Devices

As endoscopic polypectomy became more common, the need for reliable specimen retrieval grew significantly. Early retrieval methods often resulted in tissue loss or fragmented samples. Polyp traps were developed to ensure intact specimen collection while maintaining continuous suction. Design refinements have improved transparency, flow control, and compatibility with modern endoscopy systems.

Functional Role During Endoscopic Procedures

The Polyp Trap allows resected polyps to be captured immediately after removal. Advin Health Care offers polyp traps designed for clear visibility and efficient suction flow. The transparent chamber enables confirmation of specimen capture during the procedure. Its simple integration helps maintain uninterrupted workflow. The device supports accurate pathological evaluation by preserving specimen integrity.
