Device for taking a tissue sample

Abstract

Abstract Device for taking a tissue sample, characterized in that it consists of the combination of a longitudinal receiving element (1), a knife (2) which can rotate around it and which can moreover be axially moved, and a driving device (10) which provides for at least the rotating movement of the knife (2), whereby this receiving element (1) has such a section that, between said receiving element (1) and the knife (2) applied over it, is formed at least one receiving space (3) in which tissue (15) can penetrate and can be collected, whereby the knife (2) works in conjunction with the outside of the longitudinal element (1) to cut off tissue collected in the receiving space (3) as the knife (2) is applied in a rotating manner over the longitudinal element (1).
