ABSTRACT:
Tissue needle for extracting a biopsy sample including a pistol style squeezable hand grip for single hand biopsy tissue needle operation. A spring tensioned sliding cannula, including a configured cutting edge, actuates by a squeeze trigger and cam arrangement to slide over a fixed position stylet for entry into a tissue sample area. A squeeze trigger manually cycles using one hand to obtain a biopsy sample contained in a tissue sample notch of the sharp stylet tip whereupon the tissue needle is manually withdrawn. The soft tissue can be liver tissue, kidney tissue, growth area tissue, or a like tissue. The tissue needle can have other medical biopsy uses in either human or animals.
