The authors suggested and constructed a device for collecting biopsy specimens with a smooth surface and edges. The cutting element was of the type of a razor which was installed on a rod parallel to the body of the device; the body and the rod were fitted into bands allowing longitudinal movement. A tube was attached in the body, and a perforated plate was installed at the end of the tube. The last named was connected to a nozzle for connection with the vacuum source. The working end of the body had a cutting edge.
