From: Mechanism behind reduced resection ability of bent snares during cold snare polypectomy

Measurement of force required for resection (FRR) of the snares bent one time or five times. Data are expressed as the mean ± standard error of at least five independent experiments. The prototype snare is denoted as follows: wire spindle (soft or hard) / sheath (soft or hard). *P < 0.001 (versus no bending).
