    Abstract: A tissue collection instrument comprises a tissue separator device comprising a separator and a storage volume, and a tissue retrieval device comprises a tissue shuttle storable in the storage volume and a retriever connected to the tissue shuttle to retract the tissue shuttle away from the tissue separator device. A method of collecting biological matter using a tissue collection instrument comprises inserting a tissue separator device into anatomy. operating the tissue separator device to obtain a first tissue sample from the anatomy. collecting the first tissue sample with a shuttle associated with the tissue separator device and withdrawing the shuttle from the anatomy. A method of collecting biological matter comprises assembling a tissue separator with a scope, inserting the scope and the tissue separator into anatomy. operating the tissue separator to obtain a tissue sample. and withdrawing the tissue sample through an openable lumen in the scope.

    Abstract: A sampling device insertable into a bronchoscope to obtain samples of target nodules in lungs of a patient, the system can include a sampling needle, a needle inlet guide tube, and a needle actuator. The sampling needle can extend between a base and a tip. The needle inlet guide tube can be removably couplable to the bronchoscope and can define a working lumen. The needle actuator can be configured to receive the base of the sampling needle to extend the sampling needle through the working lumen. The needle actuator can be engageable with the needle inlet guide tube to move the sampling needle through the sampling device. The sampling device can include operating states. In each of the operating states, the needle actuator can move relative to the needle inlet guide tube to move the tip of the sampling needle with respect to the sampling device.

    Abstract: An electrosurgical medical device can include a first jaw, a second jaw, a heating element, and a heat sink. The heating element can be heated for cutting or sealing tissue. The heat sink and the heating element can move relative to each other. Such relative movement can be between a first state that dissipates heat from the heating element and a second state that allows the heating element to heat. Such relative movement can be actuated during closing of the jaws. For example, a displacement actuator on the first jaw can push the heat sink away from the heating element when the jaws are being closed, thereby moving the heating element and the heat sink from a first (heat sinking) state to a second (non-heat sinking) state. Heat in the heating element can dissipate through the heat sink in the first state for rapid cooling of the heating element.

    Abstract: An example medical instrument for creating tracks within target tissue. Medicants could be injected into these tracks for diffusion into the surrounding tissue. An exemplary medical device includes a first tissue penetrating device, a second tissue penetrating device and a handle. The handle includes a first component connected to the first tissue penetrating device and a second component connected to the second tissue penetrating device. When the second component is at a first position relative to the first component, the second tissue penetrating device is in a non-track creation configuration. When the second component is at a second position relative to the first component, the second tissue penetrating device is in a track creation configuration. The second tissue penetrating device is slidably received within the first tissue penetrating device.
