摘要：
An excisional device for either handheld or stereotactic table/MRI use may comprise a work element configured to rotate at a first rotation rate and comprising at least one articulable beak configured to cut tissue in a longitudinal direction. Helical elements or equivalent assemblies may be configured to transport tissue cut by a work element and may be co-axially disposed relative to the work element and may be operative to rotate at rotation rates that may be different from the work element rotation rate. Flush and vacuum tissue transport mechanisms may be incorporated in replacement of or in conjunction with helical elements. A proximal sheath and a distal sheath may be co-axially disposed relative to a work element and may be configured to rotate a work element and to actuate a beak or beaks. A simplified embodiment of this device may be applicable to field use where power sources for actuation may be limited.
