US Patent:

20130053725, Feb 28, 2013

Filed:

Sep 13, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/614078

Inventors:

Deborah R. Beck - Indianapolis IN, US
Dan C. Ireland - Martinsville IN, US

Assignee:

PROMEX TECHNOLOGIES, LLC - Franklin IN

International Classification:

A61B 10/02

US Classification:

600567

Abstract:

A biopsy device includes coaxially disposed inner and outer needles in which the outer needle tip is configured for obtaining a tissue sample. The inner surface of the outer needle includes a tissue retention feature which may include a countersink and/or a feature formed in the inner surface. The device may be introduced to a biopsy site through an introducer in which the introducer is vented and/or a certain ratio of introducer inner diameter and biopsy device outer diameter is maintained.

International Classification:

G06T 15/04
G06T 15/00

Abstract:

A method is provided that uses commercially available drawing software to manipulate two dimensional images to match all horizontal objects in the image to be wrapped around a tapered or frusto-conical cup. The method allows a novice user with no graphic design experience to create a satisfactory image that avoids the unrealistic “tenting” distortion effect caused by the taper of the cup. The method includes altering the image and transforming it so that the horizontal elements maintain their integrity despite the geometry of the cup. With this method, all horizontal objects within the design appear in the cup as horizontal, even though the image has been manipulated to be non-horizontal in a two dimensional version of the image. In one aspect, the image can be personalized with color by the user. In some embodiments, such as with the use of transparency film, the art work can create a stained glass or painted stainless steel effect.

Deborah Rae Beck - Zionsville IN, US

International Classification:

A61B 10/02
A61B 10/06

Abstract:

A full-core biopsy device comprises an outer cannula hub with an outer cannula coupled at a proximal end to the hub, the outer cannula with a tissue slicing feature defined at the distal tip configured for cutting tissue. The device further comprises an inner member hub and an inner member coaxially disposed within the outer cannula and coupled at a proximal end to the inner member hub. The inner member includes a tubular body, an inner member tip at an opposite distal end thereof and an elongated scoop portion defined between the tubular body and tip. The distal ends of the outer cannula and the scoop portion of the inner member define cooperating forcing cone features.

Abstract:

A biopsy device includes coaxially disposed inner and outer needles in which the outer needle tip is configured for obtaining a tissue sample. The inner surface of the outer needle includes a tissue retention feature which may include a countersink and/or a feature formed in the inner surface. The device may be introduced to a biopsy site through an introducer in which the introducer is vented and/or a certain ratio of introducer inner diameter and biopsy device outer diameter is maintained. The full core devices also permit a tighter tolerance between the I.D. and O.D. of the outer cannula and stylet, respectively, which further permits the use of a smaller gage introducer. Full devices also include a sample trap assembly operable to enlarge the sample cavity after the full core sample has been obtained.
