  • Publication number: 20250025141
    Abstract: A biopsy device includes a body, a needle, a cutter, and a cutter drive assembly. Body includes an outer housing. The needle extends distally from the body. The cutter is configured to rotate and translate relative to the needle. The cutter drive assembly includes a cutter overmold secured to a portion of the cutter. The cutter overmold includes a threaded portion and one or more channels. The threaded portion is configured to drive translation of the cutter. The one or more channels are configured to drive rotation of the cutter. The outer housing defines a resilient member extending inwardly from an inner surface of the outer housing. The resilient member is configured to engage the cutter overmold to apply either a proximally oriented force or a distally oriented force to the cutter overmold.

  • Patent number: 8262036
    Abstract: An equipment support, such as an IV pole, comprises an upper portion, a lower portion having a lower end configured to engage a socket, and an actuator movable relative to the lower end. When the upper portion is gripped by a releasable gripper, the lower end can be disengaged from the socket by moving the actuator from a first position to a second position. The lower portion can be telescoped relative to the upper portion by moving the actuator from the second position to a third position.
