ABSTRACT:
Devices, methods and systems for obtaining biopsy tissue samples are provided. Flexible hollow tubes with a rail and a tip cutting element advance within a shaft with an aperture and a bore having a ramp, so that the cutting element emerges from the aperture and cuts tissue as it moves over the ramp. Either or both shaft and bore may have guides, which may engage each other to guide the tube along a tissue cutting pathway. A tube may have a rail and the bore a channel which engages the rail and guides the tube. Cut tissue may be acquired and transported proximally within the tube by suction to a tissue collection chamber. Multiple tissue samples may be obtained from a single insertion point by rotation and/or translation of the shaft between biopsies.
