Publication number: 20220346762Abstract: An actuator device comprises first, second and third actuators operatively connected to a biopsy needle arrangement comprising a needle inside a sheath. The needle arrangement has a closed state and an open state, a tip portion abutting a needle sheath in the closed state, and the tip portion extending from the distal end of the needle sheath in the open state. The first actuator pushes the needle distally in a sliding direction x relative to the needle sheath a first distance, d1, at which the needle arrangement is in its open state. The second actuator pushes the needle sheath distally in the sliding direction x relative to the needle a second distance, d2. The third actuator pushes the needle sheath distally in the sliding direction x relative to the needle a third distance, d3, where d3 is smaller than d2, at which the needle arrangement is in its closed state.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2020Publication date: November 3, 2022Applicant: Xaga Surgical ABInventors: Andreas Forsvall, Krister Uvnäs, Mats Edberg, Erik Sparre
