A bone harvesting device may facilitate the removal of bone from a surgical site, for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes. The device may have a harvester tube, a harvester tube fitting, and a slide hammer. The harvester tube may have a proximal end, a distal end, and a hollow portion that can receive a sample of the bone and/or a plunger with a point that breaches cortical bone. The harvester tube fitting may be coupled to the proximal end of the harvester tube, and may receive impact to urge the distal end of the harvester tube into the bone. The slide hammer may translate along the harvester tube and impact the harvester tube fitting to urge removal of the proximal end from the bone. Complementary attachment features on the harvester tube fitting and the slide hammer may detachably couple the slide hammer to the harvester tube fitting.
