Patent number: 9901326Abstract: This invention relates to a device (10) for taking at least one sample of soft tissue from an organ, said device comprising a body (11) and a needle (12) formed by a stylet and a cannula coaxial with said stylet. The device comprises a mechanism for arming the needle, designed for sequentially moving the cannula and then the stylet from a rest position wherein the stylet and the cannula are extended towards the outside of the body, to a shooting position wherein the stylet and the cannula are retracted towards the rear of the body, and a triggering mechanism designed to release the stylet then the cannula and to allow their displacement from the shooting position to the rest position. The cannula is kinematically coupled to a cannula slider (24) comprising at least one retaining element (26) for maintaining the cannula slider in a shooting position.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2013Date of Patent: February 27, 2018Assignee: Coloplast A/SInventors: David Callede, Laurent Pivard, Denis Pinaud, Fabrice Teppe, Adrien Moine

Patent number: 9113856Abstract: A device for taking a sample of soft tissue from an organ includes a body, a needle having a cannula coaxial with a stylet, a mechanism for arming the needle, a triggering mechanism to release the stylet, and a security element. The mechanism includes an arming button connected to a platform. A distal portion of the platform is wider than a proximal portion of the platform. The platform includes a curvilinear edge connecting the distal portion of the platform with the proximal portion of the platform. The curvilinear edge of the platform is configured to interact with a projection formed inside of the body to pivot the platform out of a first position aligned with a cannula slide into a second position aligned with a stylet slider.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2011Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: Coloplast A/SInventors: David Callede, Denis Pinaud, Adrien Moine, Laurent Pivard, Fabrice Teppe
