ABSTRACT:
A bone marrow aspiration device is provided having a handle adapted to facilitate grasping thereof, and an elongate penetrating element coupled to the handle and having a proximal inlet port and a distal piercing tip for penetrating into tissue and bone. The device is particularly effective in that the configuration of the handle and the elongate penetrating element allows a person to grasp and manipulate the handle while accessing the inlet port to aspirate fluid therethrough. The device is also effective to facilitate penetrating of the device into bone due to the configuration of the distal penetrating tip. A person having ordinary skill in the art will appreciate that, while the device is described for use as a bone marrow aspiration device, the device can be used to withdraw or inject fluid.
