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 biopsy device includes an elongated housing having a manifold, an outer cannula partially and slidably disposed in the manifold, and an inner cannula partially and slidably disposed in a lumen of the outer cannula. The biopsy device further includes an outer cannula seal disposed between the manifold and the outer cannula, the outer cannula seal including an interference ring portion disposed adjacent an inner surface of the manifold, a beaded ring portion that contacts an outer surface of the outer cannula, and a flexible portion extending between the interference ring portion and the beaded ring portion.
