Abstract: A kit of parts and a biopsy instrument (1) comprising a base member (10) which extends from a proximal end (10a) to a distal end (10b) along a central geometrical axis (A), wherein at least a distal end portion (10b?) of the base member (10) is shaped as an elongated hollow tube (10), the distal end (10b) being intended to be rotated and at least partly inserted into a tissue (50) from which a biopsy is to be obtained, wherein the elongated hollow tube (10) is provided with a distally facing circular cutting edge (11) defining a mouth (10c) of the distal end (10b) of the elongated hollow tube (10), wherein the elongated hollow tube (10) has, at a distal portion (10b?) of the elongated hollow tube (10), a hollow elongated tubular sample acquiring portion (10b?) having a smooth interior surface (12). The disclosure also relates to a method of acquiring a biopsy.

Abstract: An endoscopic biopsy instrument (1) is disclosed comprising a guide wire (2) arranged in a sheath (3), a drill device (5) arranged at a first end (4) of said guide wire (2), and an actuator (11) for actuating said drill device (5), said actuator being arranged at a second end (10) of said guide wire (2). The drill device (5) comprises an outer tube (6) and an inner cutting device (7). The inner cutting device (7) is slidable and rotatable inside said outer tube (6). The inner cutting device (7) has a helical cutting edge (8). An endoscope comprising such an endoscopic instrument (1) is also disclosed, as well as a method for taking a biopsy sample from a tissue of a subject.

Abstract: An endoscopic biopsy instrument for obtaining a tissue sample from a body of a patient. The endoscopic biopsy instrument comprising a proximal portion (P) adapted to remain outside of the body of the patient in use, and a distal portion (D) adapted to be inserted into the body of the patient in use. The endoscopic biopsy instrument further comprising a sleeve (9) and a motion transferring member (3). The distal end (3E) of the motion transferring member being adapted to be connected to a rotatable cutting tip (5) being extendable from a distal end of the sleeve, and being configured to obtain a tissue sample from within the body of the patient using rotary motion.
