Abstract

A device and method for catching a biological specimen from an individual. The device comprises a main chamber, an inlet oriented on the top portion of the device, an outlet oriented on the bottom portion of the device, and a removable filter including a specimen shelf. The device is connected to a medical scope and a vacuum system. When the device is placed under suction, the biological specimen is extracted and trapped on the removable filter of the device. The removable filter is disengaged from the main chamber of the device and deposited along with the biological specimen into a specimen container.

Description

[0001] cross reference [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 854,010, filed May 29, 2019, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for capturing a biological sample removed from an individual. Background technique [0004] Biological samples can be captured during surgical procedures such as laparoscopy and endoscopy. In such a procedure, medical staff will take a biological sample from the individual and store it in a container for transfer to a laboratory or separate room where further testing and research can be performed on the sample. [0005] Commercially available devices that are placed under suction to capture biological samples typically have vacuum efficiencies below 50%. Lower vacuum performance and efficiency result in wasted energy, lower than expected suction, and potential challenges during sample remo...
