Polyp Loop

A polyp loop is a tool that is used to remove polyps of various locations. This instrument consists of a wire loop that is pulled into a special tube and then used to grasp and cut off the polyp.

Polyps are benign formations that can form in various parts of the gastrointestinal tract. They can cause a variety of symptoms such as abdominal pain, constipation or diarrhea.

Removal of polyps can be done by a variety of methods, including surgery, laser resection, or the use of special instruments such as a polyp snare.

The use of a polyp loop is one of the most effective methods for removing polyps. This method allows you to remove the polyp without damaging surrounding tissue and significantly reduce the risk of complications.

Before using a polyp loop, it is necessary to examine the patient and determine the location of the polyp. The doctor then inserts a tube into the rectum or stomach and begins to retract the wire loop until it catches the polyp. After this, the loop is cut off and removed along with the polyp.

It is important to note that removing polyps using a polyp snare can be quite a painful process, so the patient may be prescribed a pain reliever before the procedure.

Overall, the polyp loop is an effective tool for removing polyps and can be used to treat various gastrointestinal diseases associated with their formation.
