  • System with photonic biopsy device for obtaining pathological information
    Patent number: 10143450
    Abstract: A biopsy device includes a tubular member, a hollow shaft and an elongated fiber body having at least one optical fiber. The hollow shaft has a laterally (sidewardly) facing notch in its distal portion. The tubular member is movable relative to the shaft, between a first position in which the notch is covered by the tubular member, and a second position in which the notch is not covered by the tubular member. The shaft is movable between a first position in which the distal end of the optical fiber is located at the distal end of the shaft with the elongated fiber body extending through the notch, and a second position in which the distal end of the at least one optical fiber is located proximally to the notch.

  • SYSTEM WITH PHOTONIC BIOPSY DEVICE FOR OBTAINING PATHOLOGICAL INFORMATION
    Publication number: 20180303468
    Abstract: A biopsy device is provided comprising a tubular member, a hollow shaft and an elongated fiber body. The hollow shaft may have a distal end and a shaft, wherein a laterally (sidewardly) facing notch is formed in the distal portion of the shaft. The elongated fiber body may include at least one optical fiber, preferably at least two optical fibers, with a distal end. The tubular member is movable relative to the shaft, between a first position in which the notch is covered by the tubular member, and a second position in which the notch is not covered by the tubular member. The fiber body is movable within the shaft, between a first position in which the distal end of the optical fiber is located at the distal end of the shaft with the elongated fiber body extending through the notch, and a second position in which the distal end of the at least one optical fiber is located proximally to the notch.
