  • Patent number: 11457901
    Abstract: A tissue collection device (1) for collection of one or more exposed tissue samples (2) from a biopsy needle or biopsy device, which tissue collection device comprises one or more pieces of a carrier medium (6) and is arranged to temporarily bring a piece of carrier medium into physical contact with the tissue sample, while the tissue sample is still positioned in the biopsy needle or biopsy device, so that the tissue sample (2) adheres to the carrier medium (6) and is removed from the biopsy needle (3) or biopsy device (4) with the carrier medium (6), when the carrier medium (6) is removed from the biopsy needle or biopsy device again. Furthermore, a biopsy device comprising such a tissue collection device is disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9254367
    Abstract: In an exemplary embodiment, a breath actuated inhaler (BAI) actuator may include a loading element capable of being loaded with an actuation force and a breath actuated trigger mechanism arranged to counteract the actuation force of the loading element and to fire the actuator by releasing the actuation force of the loading element in response to an inhalation breath. An actuation locking device may be moveable between a locked position wherein it relieves the actuation force from the trigger mechanism setting the trigger mechanism in a neutral position, and an armed position wherein the trigger mechanism is set in an armed position.
