Engineering:Bioptome
From HandWiki
A bioptome is a small pincer-shaped cutting/grasping instrument used in medicine for taking endomyocardial biopsy specimens of the heart muscle following heart transplantation in rejection monitoring and for diagnosing some diseases of the heart.[1]
Technique
It is flexible and usually operated under the guidance of fluoroscopy or echocardiography.[1][2]
History
Since 1962, many modifications to the device and techniques in its use have been made.[3][4]
