Abstract
Disclosed is an aortic punch comprising a first body member having a proximal end and a distal end, a second body member disposed at least partially within said first body member, a manual actuator, a piston having an anvil disposed at a distal end thereof, and a shear, said shear being integral with said second body member. The first body member and second body member are axially movable relative to one another between a fully extended position and a fully retracted position and within a range of intermediate positions while maintaining the piston and shear in position relative to each other in the axial direction, and separately the shear is axially movable via manual actuation relative to said anvil between an insertion position and a shearing position and a range of intermediate positions.
