ABSTRACT:
A jaw assembly of an endoscopic biotome is formed by cutting a hemispherical end of a spring metal cylinder with electrical discharge or laser machining equipment to provide opposed jaw cups. Metal is cut from the middle portion of the cylinder to form two tapered arms which terminate at a cylindrical portion of the open end of the cylinder. At least one of the two tapered arms is bent away from the other to form the jaw assembly.
