Abstract

The invention is directed to a system and device for separating and collecting a tissue specimen from a target site within a patient. The device includes a probe component which is releasably secured to the driver component (12). The probe component has an elongated tubular section (15), a penetrating distal tip (16) and a tissue receiving aperture (17) in the distal end of the tubular section proximal to the distal tip, and a tissue cutting member (20) which is slidably disposed within the probe member to cut a tissue specimen drawn into the interior of the device through the aperture by applying a vacuum (59) to the inner lumen of the tissue cutting member. The driver has drive members (22, 30, 40) for operating the elements of the probe component. The tissue penetrating distal tip preferably has a triple concave curvature shape with three curved cutting edges leading to a sharp distal point.
