This invention relates to a device (10) for taking at least one sample of soft tissue from an organ, said device comprising a body (11) and a needle (12) formed by a stylet (13) and a cannula (14) coaxial with said stylet, said device comprising a mechanism for arming the needle, designed for sequentially moving the cannula (14) and then the stylet (13) from a rest position wherein the stylet and the cannula are extended towards the outside of the body, to a shooting position wherein the stylet and the cannula are retracted towards the rear of the body, and a triggering mechanism designed to release the stylet then the cannula and to allow their displacement from the shooting position to the rest position, the cannula being coupled kinematically to a cannula slider (24) comprising at least one retaining element (26) for maintaining the cannula slider in a shooting position, the stylet being coupled kinematically to a stylet slider (30) comprising at least one retaining element (32) for maintaining the stylet slider in a shooting position and means for unlocking (34) the cannula slider. In this device, at least one element among said retaining element of the cannula slider (26) and said retaining element of the stylet slider (32) comprises at least one hook (51), this hook comprising at least an elastic blade (52) arranged for resting against a corresponding retaining device (27, 33) in a locking position and for being released from the corresponding retaining device (27, 33) in a shooting position, said elastic blade (52) having at least one bending area (53) around which this elastic blade is bent under the action of a stress, and said bending area (53) is placed at the rear of said corresponding retaining device (27, 33).
Abstract:
This invention relates to a device (10) for taking at least one sample of soft tissue from an organ, said device comprising a body (11) and a needle (12) arranged in the body and extending at least partly outside the body through the front end of the body, the needle is formed by a stylet and a cannula coaxial with said stylet. The device comprises a mechanism for arming the needle, designed for sequentially moving the stylet and then the cannula from a rest position to a shooting position wherein the stylet and the cannula are retracted towards the rear end of the body, and a triggering mechanism designed to release the stylet then the cannula and to allow their displacement from the shooting position to the rest position. The cannula is coupled to a cannula slider (24) comprising at least one retaining element (26) for maintaining the cannula slider in a shooting position. The stylet is coupled to a stylet slider (30) comprising at least one retaining element (32) for maintaining the stylet slider in a shooting position and means for unlocking the cannula slider. This device is characterized in that the stylet slider (30) comprises a support device (41) integral with the stylet and a guide device (42) mobile in the body (11) of the device, in that the displacement of the guide device (42) leads to the displacement of the support device (41) and in that the support device (41) and the guide device (42) have a clearance between each other.

Abstract:
A device for taking a sample of soft tissue from an organ includes a body, a needle having a cannula coaxial with a stylet, a mechanism for arming the needle, a triggering mechanism to release the stylet, and a security element. The mechanism includes an arming button connected to a platform. A distal portion of the platform is wider than a proximal portion of the platform. The platform includes a curvilinear edge connecting the distal portion of the platform with the proximal portion of the platform. The curvilinear edge of the platform is configured to interact with a projection formed inside of the body to pivot the platform out of a first position aligned with a cannula slide into a second position aligned with a stylet slider.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a biopsy needle wherein the cannula and stylet may be arranged in a locked position, preventing longitudinal movement relative to each other and a reusable biopsy gun comprising means for moving the biopsy needle from its locked position to an unlocked position where the cannula and stylet may be moved in the longitudinal direction relative to each other. The invention furthermore relates to a kit comprising at least one biopsy needle and a biopsy gun as described.
Abstract:
A catheter for positioning an access sheath and a security guide next to the sheath for an intervention in a difficult-to-access area within the body. The catheter comprises at least one security channel for positioning a guide, extending between an outer hole and an inner hole. A wall of the catheter extends between both holes of the security channel arranged to open under an action of peel strength directed from inside to outside the channel.
Abstract:
A system for cooling a heated juice by partial low-pressure evaporation, the system includes a vat with at least two compartments that are connected to each other through a variably positioned shutter element, where the juice is subjected to decreasing pressure reductions within the vat and the movement of the variably positioned shutter element creates a pulsed effect that removes solid particles contained in the juice.
