Abstract

A biopsy instrument (10) comprising a biopsy needle (14) and a biopsy gun (12). Gun (12) permits needle (14) to be fired into bone or other hard tissue to secure a soft tissue biopsy sample, such as bone marrow. In a first forward stroke, needle (14) pierces the bone and obtains a cored bone sample (44) in the needle bore. As cradle (18) and the needle (14) are fired forwards, a vacuum is formed in an attached syringe (19) that causes the bone marrow to enter through an opening (30), and be drawn into the syringe (19). As the cradle (18) retracts, the cored bone sample (44) is severed by triangular flap (28).
