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 17):
A method of collecting a biopsy sample, comprising:\n assembling a device for collecting the biopsy sample by removably engaging a biopsy sleeve with an imaging device by inserting an elongate imaging member that is permanently directly engaged to and extends distally from a handle of the imaging device into an elongate shaft of the biopsy sleeve until a distal end of the elongate imaging member is positioned proximal to a biopsy collector and an engagement member of the biopsy sleeve fixedly engages with a handle of the imaging device; positioning a biopsy sleeve adjacent to tissue to be sampled using images taken by an imaging device disposed at least partially in the biopsy sleeve, the imaging device visualizing the tissue through the biopsy sleeve; collecting a tissue sample using a biopsy collector positioned at or adjacent to a distal end of the biopsy sleeve; disengaging the biopsy sleeve from the imaging device by withdrawing the elongate imaging member from the elongate shaft of the biopsy sleeve; and disposing of the biopsy sleeve while retaining the imaging device with the elongate imaging member.
