Abstract
A tissue sampling device for retrieving multiple tissue samples from a body has a catheter and a tissue collector formed proximate the distal end of the catheter. The tissue collector is configured so as to facilitate the removal of a tissue sample from its in-situ anatomical location and so as to capture the tissue sample within the first lumen of the catheter. A passage provides fluid communication between a first lumen within which the collected tissue sample is disposed and a second lumen into which a fluid may be caused to flow. Flowing the fluid distally through the second lumen moves the tissue sample proximally through the first lumen so as to facilitate the collection of a plurality of such tissue samples.
