Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
161 words
1 Biopsy set comprising a cannula (11) having a ground main bevel (12) with small bevel angle, and a surrounding cutting edge (45), and a cylindrical stylet (17) secured against rotation with respect to the cannula (11) and protruding beyond the ground main bevel (12) of the cannula, said stylet (17) having a stylet tip (19), the cannula (11) being adapted to be advanced beyond the stylet for collecting a sample, characterized in that the stylet (17) is provided with a ground main bevel (18) with its bevel angle and orientation corresponding to those of the ground main bevel (12) of the cannula (11), that the stylet tip (19) is formed by a ground portion (20) ground to the ground main bevel (18) of the stylet, and that the cannula (11) has a cannula tip (28) being formed by ground rear facettes (13) of the cutting edge (45), which are ground up to the inner lumen (22) of the cannula (11).
