Abstract: A cover for a tissue holder assembly is described. The cover includes a first end and an opposite second end defining a longitudinal axis, the second end configured to removably couple to a base of the tissue holder assembly. The cover also includes an exterior surface and an opposite interior surface, the interior surface at least partially defining an interior chamber with the base. The cover also includes an entry port defining a fluid pathway from the exterior surface to the interior surface. The entry port includes an inlet defined in the exterior surface and having an inlet axis, the inlet shaped and sized to at least partially receive an inlet tube, the inlet axis extending radially relative to the longitudinal axis and non-orthogonal thereto, an outlet defined in the interior surface, and a transition channel extending between the inlet and the outlet.

Abstract: A multi-faceted soft tissue piercing element includes three distal planar cutting edges converging to form a sharp, distal point of the tissue piercing element. Each distal cutting edge forms a first angle with respect to a central longitudinal axis of the tissue piercing element. The tissue piercing element also includes three proximal planar cutting edges. Each proximal cutting edge extends proximally from a respective one of the three distal planar cutting edges. Each proximal cutting edge forms a second angle relative to the central longitudinal axis of the tissue piercing element. The second angle is larger than the first angle.
