Abstract
A tissue biopsy device includes an input configured to receive a rotational input and to rotate in a first direction in response thereto, an outer tube, and an inner cutting member extending through the outer tube. A mechanism couples the input with at least one of the inner tube or the outer tube and/or one of the inner tube or the outer tube is coupled to the input such that rotation of the input in the first direction drives rotation of the one of the outer tube or the inner cutting member in the first direction and drives rotation of the other of the outer tube or the inner cutting member in a second, opposite direction.
