Patent number: 11172955Abstract: According to one aspect, a medical device may include a shaft including a distal tip with a distal-facing surface. The shaft also may include a fluid lumen extending to the distal tip and a nozzle at a distal end of the fluid lumen. The nozzle may be configured to emit a fluid jet from the distal tip. The shaft also may include a vacuum lumen extending to the distal tip and a vacuum chamber at the distal tip. The vacuum lumen may open into the vacuum chamber, and the vacuum chamber may be wider than the vacuum lumen. The shaft may further include a vacuum opening, and the vacuum chamber may open into the vacuum opening. The vacuum opening may be defined by the distal-facing surface of the distal tip.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2018Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc.Inventors: Peter L. Dayton, Katharine Eckerline, Bryan Bannon, Jeff Gray, Barry Weitzner, Bora Gumustop

Patent number: 10758213Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a biopsy needle configured to maximize tissue sampling yield and collect a unit of sampled tissue. The biopsy needle includes an elongate tubular body comprising a lumen extending therethrough from a proximal open end to a distal open end of the body. The distal end includes first and second tip portions extending therefrom and formed on opposing sides of the needle body. The first tip portion generally extends further from the distal end than the second tip portion, resembling a staggered configuration, resulting in an increased surface area of multiple cutting edges formed between the first and second tip portions on either side of the needle body. Additionally, each of the tip portion defines a penetrating point configured to pierce the tissue to be sampled and direct sampled tissue towards the lumen of the body to be excised by the cutting edges.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2017Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: John O. McWeeney, Eugene Campbell, Bora Gumustop

Patent number: 10182798Abstract: The present disclosure provides an adjustable delivery handle system for interchangeably delivering a needle to a biopsy site. The adjustable delivery handle system includes a delivery handle having an inner hub housing component configured to interchangeably receive a needle subassembly that can be inserted into and withdrawn from the proximal handle member. The needle subassembly includes a biopsy needle having a distinct tissue collection distal end configured to maximize tissue sampling yield and collect a cohesive unit of sampled tissue. The distal end of the needle includes first and second tip portions extending therefrom and radially opposing one another. The first tip portion has a length greater than the second tip portion, thereby resulting in an increased surface area of a curvilinear cutting edge extending from the first tip portion to the second tip portion.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2015Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: COVIDIEN LPInventors: John O.
