ABSTRACT:
A biopsy forceps (10) has a handle (20), a bite device (15), and a pair of tissue cutting jaws (18) that are separated by an elongate sheath (12). The tissue cutting jaws (18) may be opened and closed to obtain a tissue sample. The bite device (15) with tissue cutting jaws (18) is removable from the distal end of the forceps (10) so that a physician can use a different pair of tissue cutting jaws (18) for each sample obtained.
