[0002] The endoscopic biopsy forceps is a medical examination device, which is inserted into the stomach or intestinal tract through a thin and soft tube, and the outer end of the tube is provided with an endoscope and a biopsy forceps. The doctor can directly observe the suspicious lesions of the esophagus, stomach, duodenum or intestinal tract under the monitoring of the endoscope, especially for the tiny lesions. The doctor can directly observe the true situation of the examined part. If suspicious lesions are found, the biopsy forceps is extended from the tube to aim at the lesion, and then the forceps head of the biopsy forceps is driven to open to clamp the lesion tissue. The obtained lesion tissue is sent for pathological examination to determine the nature of the lesion. The process of extending the biopsy forceps from the tube is manually completed by the doctor according to experience. Therefore, the doctor needs to closely observe the extension length of the forceps head during the insertion process.
