  • Needle biopsy forceps with integral sample ejector
    Patent number: 7775989
    Abstract: A sample ejecting safety biopsy needle forceps includes a pair of pivotable cups and a sample-spearing needle disposed between the jaws for holding multiple specimens. A tissue sample-contacting surface at a proximal end of a needle is movable relative to the needle to contact the samples and push them along the needle when the cups are in an open position. A control or actuator at a proximal end of the forceps accomplishes the relative movement.
