Abstract
A biopsy device incorporating a housing, having a slide member therein, with one of a stylet or cannula connecting to the slide, while the other is fixed to the housing, such that when the slide member is shifted longitudinally within the housing, a displacement occurs between the forwardmost portions of the styler and cannula, generating a reduced pressure therein, for aspirating a biopsy for analysis.
