Abstract

A device for excising tissue. In an embodiment, the device comprises an outer sleeve. In addition, the device comprises an inner tubular member slidingly received within the outer sleeve. Further the device comprises a cutting head connected to a distal end of the inner tubular, wherein the cutting head comprises at least three arms extending axially from the inner tubular. Still further, the device has an open position in which the cutting head extends from the outer sleeve, and a closed position in which the cutting head is at least partially disposed within the sleeve.
