Oral biopsies are common diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in oral and maxillofacial surgical (OMFS) outpatient departments. The chalazion clamp is similar to a pair of forceps. One extension has a flat, solid, oval plate, the other, a ring-like structure that is used to clamp and retract soft tissues. We highlight the benefits of using this simple, widely-available tool during oral biopsies. We find that the clamp increases effectiveness and efficiency for the clinician and assistant. We recommend its use in daily OMFS practice.
口腔活检是口腔颌面外科（OMFS）门诊常见的诊断和治疗程序。睑板腺囊肿夹类似于一把镊子。其中一个延伸部分有一个扁平、实心的椭圆形板，另一个是环状结构，用于夹住和牵拉软组织。我们强调在口腔活检过程中使用这种简单、易于获得的工具的好处。我们发现，该夹子提高了临床医生和助手的工作效果和效率。我们建议在OMFS日常实践中使用它。
