ABSTRACT:
A tissue sampling device, comprising a stylet having a notch therein and a cannula at least partially surrounding the stylet. The notch has an exposed portion for receiving tissue to be sampled, and the cannula is adjustable relative to the stylet to vary the size of the exposed portion and therefore the amount of tissue to be sampled. The device also comprises a trigger mechanism operatively connected to at least one of the cannula and the stylet. Actuation of the trigger mechanism causes relative movement of the stylet with respect to the cannula for collection of a tissue sample.
