EN – TF04 – Procedure 

Once the foreign body is located in the patient’s body the following procedure should be done: 

  • Insert the device into the endoscope. 
  • Place the distal end of tube in front of the object to be removed. 
  • Push the handle spool in order to take the grasping end out of the tube and then bring the object to be captured in the center of the graspers. 
  • Close the prongs or snare carefully as much as the object allows by pulling back the handle spool. 
  • Remove the object and the grasper gently withdrawing the endoscope. Always keep the grasper prongs or snare tightly closed.
