Abstract

See full text

A tissue specimen collector includes a collector housing defining an interior, and has a proximal opening and a distal port opposite the proximal opening. The distal port is configured to receive a proximal end of a tubular elongated member of a biopsy probe such that the proximal end can extend into the interior. A tray is releasably attached to the collector housing at the proximal opening. The tray includes a grated portion configured to extend through the proximal opening of the collector housing toward the distal port and into the interior to separate the collector housing to define a tissue chamber and a vacuum chamber, such that a tissue discharge port of the tubular elongated member is able to be positioned in the tissue chamber above the grated portion. The grated portion has a plurality of holes to facilitate fluid communication between the tissue chamber and the vacuum chamber.
