A new instrument for suction rectal biopsy in infants suspected of having Hirschsprung's disease is described that can be completely dismantled, physically cleaned, lubricated, and heat-sterilised. These attributes are new and are absolutely critical today. The instrument has been used in 60 patients (ca. 180 biopsies) from 1988 to 1994. A successful biopsy was usually achieved and no major complications occurred. Recently, a second biopsy capsule with a larger port has been added, thus enhancing the versatility of the instrument. The original instrument has never been sharpened or repaired and is still in use. A direct descendant of this prototype instrument is now commercially available.
本文介绍了一种用于疑似患有先天性巨结肠症婴儿的直肠吸引活检新仪器，该仪器可完全拆解，进行物理清洁、润滑及热消毒。这些特性是全新的，在当今至关重要。1988年至1994年期间，该仪器已应用于60例患者（约180次活检）。通常能成功进行活检，且未发生重大并发症。最近，又增加了一个端口更大的第二活检胶囊，从而增强了该仪器的多功能性。原始仪器从未磨尖或维修过，仍在使用。这种原型仪器的直接衍生产品现已上市。
