Реферат: A dual action biopsy needle (10) scrapes tissue of cellular thickness from a lesion during forward and rearward reciprocations of the needle along its longitudinal axis of symmetry. A first sharp edge (14), formed by a beveled distal end of the needle, scrapes tissue from a lesion (30) during proximal-to-distal travel of the needle. A second sharp edge (20) is provided by a transversely disposed slot (18) formed in the needle near the first sharp edge. The second sharp edge scrapes tissue during distal-to-proximal travel of the needle. In various embodiments, the second sharp edge is coincident with, elevated with respect to the to, or recessed with respect to an exterior surface of the needle. Additional embodiments include a second slot (18a), a channel (21), and a hinge (22) for enabling pivotal movement of the second and third sharp edges.
