BIOPSY SAMPLE CONTAINER AND CORRESPONDING SAMPLE COLLECTOR Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC A61B10/02 A01K11/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to medical equipment, specifically to a storage container intended for receiving and storing a biopsy sample of an organism, a sampling tool for holding the storage container, a head for interacting with a punch to remove and store a sample of animal tissue, a set comprising a punch and a head for removing a tissue sample from an animal. Container holds the biopsy sample with a biopsy sample collector. Container includes a container body forming a holding area with an open end. Container includes a cap removably placed at the open end for sealing the holding area. Container cap has a passage closed by a lid which can be broken to allow the biopsy sample collector for hold the biopsy sample to enter the holding area such that the sample can be stored in the holding area and said sample collector of the biopsy sample can be held by said cap and seal the passage. Container cap is a sample cutting surface for interacting with the sample collector when a sample is cut out of the body being sampled, and the passage of the biopsy sample collector is due to the shearing action of the sample cutting surface to facilitate the removal of said biopsy sample. Sampling tool for holding a storage container in which the collector comprises a punch having a cutter with a cutting edge formed on the cutting end of the punch to remove and hold the biopsy sample. Tool includes a body and a supporting rod for inserting a collector, configured to actuate to move along a path relative to the body between a first position aligned for inserting a collector from a primary position, separated from said container using the intermediate part of said organism, and pushing the collector through a part of said organism, and a second position in which said cutter was pushed by said rod so as to remove a sample from said organism into a storage container. Collector is held after sampling on the passage and clogs the passage in the storage container. Head is a sample cutting surface for interacting with a punch when cutting a sample out of the body being sampled. Head forms a part of the cap, which is engaged to be removable from the body of the storage container with the provision of opening control, which together form a sealed holding area. Head has a passage leading through the cap into the holding area in which said punch becomes attached when the sample is removed from said animal for transfer thereto and storage of said sample, while holding said punch, in the specified holding area. Passage of the sample cutting surface of the head is carried out by cutting the sample through said punch during shearing action to facilitate the removal of said biopsy sample. Kit comprises a punch for insertion through a part of said animal and a head for interacting with said punch when removing a sample from said animal. Head is a removable cap with an opening control that engages with a storage container that has a storage container body that forms a holding area with the cap. Cap has a passage through it to provide access to the holding area in which said punch becomes attached when the sample is removed from said animal for transferring said sample to the said holding area and storage therein. Cap is a sample cutting surface for interacting with a punch when cutting a sample out of the body to be sampled. Passage of the punch carried out by the shearing action of the sample cutting surface to facilitate the removal of the said biopsy sample.

EFFECT: technical result is to prevent drying or contamination of the sample.
