| titleOfInvention | Biopsy assembly including an expandable sleeve |
| abstract | A surgical instrument assembly for excising a targeted tissue mass to be biopsied from adjacent bodily tissue of a surgical patient is disclosed. The assembly has a tissue biopsy device and an expandable sleeve for receiving the tissue biopsy device. The biopsy device has a penetrating member affixed to a distal end of an elongated tube to facilitate insertion of the tube adjacent the targeted tissue mass. It also has a tissue receiving chamber at the distal end of the tube for receiving the mass and a tissue cutter movable relative to the penetrating member from first to second positions for excising the targeted tissue mass. The expandable sleeve provides an access portal to the targeted tissue mass. It is expandable from a first original diameter to a second expanded diameter in response to insertion of the tissue biopsy device where at least a portion of the device has a device diameter corresponding to the second expanded diameter. When the tissue biopsy device is inserted through the sleeve, and the sleeve expands, the surrounding tissue is dilated. The dilation of tissue is less traumatic to the patient than incisional length which matches the diameter of the penetrating member of the biopsy device. |
