  • Publication number: 20240081794
    Abstract: An assembly of a surgical instrument includes an outer component of a first material and having an interior surface, an inner component of a second, different material and having an exterior surface, and a bonding agent. The inner component is inserted at least partially into the outer component to define a volume between the interior surface of the outer component and the exterior surface of the inner component. The volume includes a plurality of longitudinal channels extending longitudinally along at least a portion of a length of the volume and a plurality of annular channels extending about at least a portion of a circumference of the volume. The bonding agent at least partially fills each longitudinal channel of the plurality of longitudinal channels and each annular channel of the plurality of annular channels to bond the first component with the second component.

  • Patent number: 11805998
    Abstract: A tissue biopsy device includes an input configured to receive a rotational input and to rotate in a first direction in response thereto, an outer tube, and an inner cutting member extending through the outer tube. A mechanism couples the input with at least one of the inner tube or the outer tube and/or one of the inner tube or the outer tube is coupled to the input such that rotation of the input in the first direction drives rotation of the one of the outer tube or the inner cutting member in the first direction and drives rotation of the other of the outer tube or the inner cutting member in a second, opposite direction.

  • Publication number: 20210321992
    Abstract: A tissue biopsy device includes an inner drive assembly, an outer tube, and an inner cutting member extending through the outer tube. The inner drive assembly is coupled to both the outer tube and the inner cutting member and is configured to receive a rotational input. In response to receiving the rotational input, the inner drive assembly is configured to alternatingly distally translate the outer tube and the inner cutting member.
