Patent number: 5807275Abstract: A biopsy needle assembly and kit for acquiring a sample of tissue and method of using the same. The biopsy needle assembly includes a needle having a lumen extending therethrough and a stylet sized to extend through the lumen. A divided ergonomically shaped handle has a distal part formed around the proximal end of the needle and a proximal part formed around the proximal end of the stylet. These parts can be locked together, but only from a single right angle initial orientation with a rotation in one direction only from there to lock the two parts together. A stop ensures locked alignment. Locking the handle parts in alignment provides a known orientation between the distal ends of the needle and stylet. A Luer connector attached to the proximal end of the distal handle part is exposed only when the handle parts are disconnected for connecting either a plug or aspiration apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 1995Date of Patent: September 15, 1998Assignee: Medical Biopsy, Inc.Inventor: Khosrow Jamshidi

Patent number: 4356828Abstract: A biopsy sampling device, particularly adapted for bone marrow sampling, which includes a needle having a lumen formed therein, along with a removably disposed stylet. The needle is provided with a sharpened cutting edge, when desired, particularly when designed for bone marrow sampling. A gripping means is disposed about the proximal end of the needle, with the gripping means including a generally solid finger-gripping member with portions extending laterally of the needle, and with the finger-gripping member having a needle-receiving bore extending generally centrally through the member. The solid finger-gripping member has a pair of opposed channels formed along the outer surfaces thereof, with the axes of the channels being arranged at right angles, one to another, with one axis being generally parallel to the needle axis, and with the other axis being generally transverse to the needle axis.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 1980Date of Patent: November 2, 1982Inventor: Khosrow Jamshidi

Patent number: 4266555Abstract: An elongated hollow biopsy needle assembly which includes a cannula, a stylet arranged to be received within the cannula, a finger-gripping means, and coupling means for orienting the stylet within the cannula and for releasably securing both the cannula and the stylet to the finger-gripping means. The cannula is provided with a generally cylindrical hub which has a bore extending axially thereof, and generally in continuation with the bore of the cannula, with a conical syringe receiving counterbore being formed within the proximal end of the hub. The stylet is provided with a cap member, with the distal-facing surface of the cap being arranged to fit snugly against the proximal-facing surface of the cylindrical hub, to achieve substantially closed symmetrical mating end surfaces between the cannula and stylet, and a substantially air-tight cannula.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 1979Date of Patent: May 12, 1981Inventor: Khosrow Jamshidi
