发明名称 Biopsy apparatus including a biopsy device having a sample receiving notch with a tissue anchor
摘要 A biopsy device includes a vacuum source, and an elongate member having a lumen and a sample receiving notch. The sample receiving notch has a proximal hole, a distal end wall, and a floor. The proximal hole is separated from the distal end wall along the longitudinal axis. The proximal hole is in fluid communication with the lumen. A tissue anchor has a cantilever portion with a free end. The cantilever portion is configured to extend in a direction from the distal end wall toward the proximal hole. The free end has a tip portion configured to extend toward the floor. The tissue anchor and the proximal hole are collectively configured to place tissue received in the sample receiving notch in a state of tension between the tip portion and the proximal hole when a vacuum is applied by the vacuum source to the proximal hole via the lumen.

主权项 1. A biopsy device, comprising: a vacuum source; an elongate member having a proximal end, a distal end, a lumen in fluid communication with the vacuum source, a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal end and the distal end, and a sample receiving notch, the sample receiving notch having a proximal hole, a distal end wall, and a floor, the distal end wall being located between the distal end and the proximal hole, the proximal hole being separated from the distal end wall along the longitudinal axis, the proximal hole being in fluid communication with the lumen; and a tissue anchor having a cantilever portion with a free end, the cantilever portion configured to extend in a direction from the distal end wall toward the proximal hole, the free end having a tip portion configured to extend toward the floor of the sample receiving notch, the tissue anchor and the proximal hole collectively configured to place tissue received in the sample receiving notch in a state of tension between the tip portion and the proximal hole when a vacuum is applied by the vacuum source to the proximal hole via the lumen.
