Abstract: A biopsy punch for extracting cervical tissue comprises a tubular housing having a cutting means slidable therethrough for slicing a strip of tissue from the cervix tip protruding into a tissue port. Three embodiments are presented illustrating various cutting edges for the cutting means. The first embodiment presents a bevelled cutting edge with piercing point for initially piercing the tissue. A second embodiment presents a mounting block for the cutting edge with the block key locked to the housing in slidable movement therethrough. A third embodiment presents a cylindrical cutting edge for providing a conical slice of biopsy tissue.
