1. A surgical system, comprising:
- a control console;
a surgical device including a cutting element comprising an outer cannula and an inner cannula;
a biopsy line configured to operatively connect the surgical device to the control console for supplying pressurized air from the control console to move the inner cannula longitudinally relative to the outer cannula; and
a motor line configured to operatively connect the surgical device to the control console for supplying pressurized air from the control console to rotate the inner cannula relative to the outer cannula,wherein the biopsy line and motor line each include a first section and a second section, the first sections each having a distal end attached to the surgical device, and the second sections each having a proximal end operatively connected to the control console,wherein respective distal ends of the second sections are selectively connectable to respective proximal ends of the first sections, andwherein the respective second sections are reusable after operation of the surgical device,the surgical system further comprising a firing line configured to operatively connect the surgical device to the control console for supplying pressurized air from the control console to control longitudinal motion of the outer cannula relative to a body of the surgical device, wherein the firing line includes first and second sections,wherein the first section of the firing line has a distal end attached to the surgical device, and the second section of the firing line has a proximal end that is operatively connected to the control console,wherein a distal end of the second section of the firing line is selectively connectable to a proximal end of the first section of the firing line, andwherein the second section of the firing line is reusable after operation of the surgical device.

Abstract
A surgical device is disclosed that comprises a cutting element, a biopsy line, a motor line, and a vacuum line. The cutting element includes an outer cannula and an inner cannula. The biopsy line is operatively connected to a control console for moving the inner cannula within the outer cannula to cut tissue cores. The motor line is operatively connected to the control console for operating the surgical device. The vacuum line is operatively connected to the inner cannula. A selectively openable tissue filter is operatively connected to the inner cannula, and is also connected to the vacuum line.

15. A tissue filter assembly for collecting tissue excised by a tissue cutting device, the filter assembly comprising:
-
a cap defining a tissue inlet port configured to be attached to a flexible tubing tissue aspiration line that is in fluid communication with the tissue cutting device; a filter can having an open end configured for removable attachment to the cap, the filter can defining a chamber therein and further defining a vacuum access port configured to attach to a flexible tubing vacuum line, such that, when the tissue aspiration line is attached to the inlet port, and when the cap is attached to the can, and when the vacuum line is attached to the vacuum access port, the respective aspiration line, can chamber and vacuum line are in fluid communication with each other; the cap and the filter can having a bayonet mount for removable attachment to each other; a porous filter trap sized and configured to be removably seated in the filter can chamber and configured for collecting tissue; and a gasket disposed around an open end of the filter trap, the gasket configured to be compressed between the cap and an outer periphery of the filter can to create a vacuum-tight seal when the filter trap is seated within the filter can chamber and the cap is attached to the filter can, and wherein the filter can and the cap are configured to not seal when the filter trap and gasket are omitted from the filter can. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
