    Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to biopsy devices, systems, and methods for tissue sample acquisition, such as during fine-needle aspiration. Several embodiments are particularly directed to biopsy devices with features to facilitate accessing, acquiring, and/or retaining one or more tissue samples from a target biopsy site. In one embodiment, for example, a biopsy device may include an elongate member having an insert disposed within a lumen of an elongate member. The insert may be configured to mate with a needle disposed in the lumen to maintain a rotational orientation of the needle. In another embodiment, a needle may include multiple openings for acquiring a tissue sample. In yet another embodiment a helical component may be disposed in a needle lumen to acquire and retain tissue samples.

    Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to fluid container enclosure systems that couple with a fluid container and enable different systems, such as endoscopic systems, to access the contents of the fluid container, such as via a tubing set. The enclosure systems are configured to fit a wide range of fluid container necks, ports, or other openings, including various opening dimensions and thread finishes. In one embodiment, an enclosure system may include a plug having a sleeve extending therefrom. The plug may be deformed manually or via a plunger system to reduce the outer dimension thereof to fit the plug in the neck of a fluid container. Once the plug is arranged within the neck, the sleeve may be folded down over an outer surface of the neck to form or reinforce a seal between the enclosure system and the neck of the fluid container. Other embodiments are described.
