Abstract: The subject multimodal surgical gas delivery system configured to couple to one or more surgical devices providing access into a patient body cavity includes a computer-controlled control unit configured and adapted to provide at least one of the following modes of operation. A first mode of operation for providing a pressurized insufflation fluid from an insufflation gas source into a surgical device for providing and maintaining sealable access to the body cavity in a surgical device. A second mode of operation for performing smoke evacuation in a filter element from insufflation fluid caused to recycle through the multimodal system from the body cavity via a surgical device. A third mode of operation for providing insufflation fluid from the insufflation gas source into the body cavity for creating and maintaining insufflation of the body cavity.

Abstract: A biopsy device used to capture a tissue sample by placing the tissue under tension, thus allowing a greater sized sample with increased quality. The device uses a rotating cannula and stylet with a concave “sample notch.” The rotation of the stylet places the tissue under tension while the rotation of the cannula as it is fired severs the sample.
