Abstract

L'invention se rapporte à un dispositif qui perment le prélèvement d'échantillons au moins en quantité nécessaire de cellules tissulaires sans occasionner de lésions auxdites cellules tissulaires. Ce dispositif comprend: une unité d'échantillonnage proprement dite (1), flexible et fusiforme, qui est capable d'effectuer un mouvement de va-et-vient de faible ampleur par rapport à une partie fixe (6); un tube d'échantillonnage creux (2) placé coulissant dans l'unité d'échantillonnage proprement dite (1), qui est conçu flexible de façon à suivre l'unité proprement dite et qui comporte un trou d'échantillonnage (2) à la périphérie proche de son extrémité; un dispositif d'aspiration (9) relié à la partie de base du tube d'échantillonnage (2); et un mécanisme de coupe servant à découper la partie des tissus aspirée à travers le trou d'échantillonnage (3) par aspiration d'air dans le tube d'échantillonnage (2), pour que les tissus coupés devant servir d'échantillons puissent être prélevés dans le tube d'échantillonnnage. Des émetteurs/récepteurs d'ondes ultrasonores (10, 11) sont fixés à la pointe de l'unité d'échantillonnage proprement dite (1) et reliés à un appareil de mesure de la distance par ultrasons (12). En observant les formes d'ondes représentant l'intensité des signaux reçus indiqués sur l'appareil de mesure de la distance (12), on peut guider le dispositif d'échantillonnage vers le tissu à prélever.
