Abstract:
Various biopsy devices configured to biopsy tissue from a body cavity and methods of use are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a biopsy sleeve is provided with an elongate shaft having distal and proximal ends. The elongate shaft is configured to receive at least a portion of an imaging device therein, and an engagement member is disposed on the proximal end and configured to engage with the imaging device. A biopsy collector is engageable with the elongate shaft and is configured to collect tissue for a biopsy sample. At least part of the distal end of the elongate shaft is configured to allow visualization therethrough using the imaging device such that a user can visualize the tissue being collected.

Claim (Index 1):
A biopsy sleeve, comprising:\n an elongate member having distal and proximal ends, at least one lumen extending therebetween, and a longitudinal axis extending therealong, the at least one lumen being configured to removably and replaceably receive at least a portion of an imaging shaft of an imaging device therein only during use of the imaging device to collect a biopsy sample; an engagement member positioned on the proximal end of the elongate member and configured to receive the portion of the imaging shaft therethrough and selectively engage with a portion of the imaging device during use of the imaging device, the engagement member of the biopsy sleeve being configured to be disengaged from the imaging device during collection of the biopsy sample; and a biopsy collector positioned adjacent to the distal end of the elongate member and configured to collect tissue for a biopsy sample, wherein at least part of the distal end of the elongate member is configured to allow image acquisition therethrough using the imaging device such that a user can visualize the tissue being collected.
