1. A tissue processing device, comprising:
- a body including a cavity formed therein, the cavity comprising a first cylindrical compartment and a second compartment, and the body defining a proximal end and a distal end;
a tissue collection port formed in a wall of the body adapted to receive tissue therethrough and in fluid communication with the cavity;
a rotary transfer device including a helical blade within the first cylindrical compartment for transferring the tissue from the proximal end to the distal end of the body;
a filter separating the first cylindrical compartment from the second compartment, wherein the filter defines at least a portion of a wall surrounding the rotary transfer device; and
a port formed in the body adapted for removal therethrough of the tissue from the cavity.

15. A method of processing tissue, comprising:
-
providing a tissue processing device, the tissue processing device including; a body including a cavity formed therein, the cavity comprising a first cylindrical compartment and a second compartment, and the body defining a proximal end and a distal end; a tissue collection port in fluid communication with the cavity, a rotary transfer device including a helical blade within the first cylindrical compartment; a filter separating the first cylindrical compartment from the second compartment, wherein the filter defines at least a portion of a wall surrounding the rotary transfer device; and a port formed in the body; introducing tissue for processing through the tissue collection port and into the cavity; transferring the tissue from the proximal end to the distal end of the body with the rotary transfer device; and removing the tissue from the cavity through the port after the tissue has been processed. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
