Abstract
A surgical cutting device comprises a cannula attached to an actuation mechanism that moves the cannula from a cocked position to a cutting position, a stylet including a distal portion having a sharp distal end, a sample collection region, a vacuum port, and a lumen extending from the vacuum port to the sample collection region such that the sample collection region is in fluid communication with the first vacuum port. When the cannula is in the cocked position, the sample collection region of the stylet is disposed distal of the cannula. The device also includes a fixed volume vacuum source. When cannula is in the cocked position, the vacuum port is not in fluid communication with the fixed volume vacuum source, and when said cannula is in the cutting position, the vacuum port is in fluid communication with the fixed volume vacuum source.
