Abstract
Traction means (14) for excising a tissue sample comprising a distal portion (14a), comprising at least one clip (20) suitable for being fixed to at least one portion (12) of tissue to be excised and a proximal portion (14b) suitable for being subjected to traction. Said at least one clip (20) is suitable for being connected to a distal end (22a) of a suture (22) to pull the tissue to be excised, said suture (22) extending between said distal end (22a) and a proximal end corresponding to the proximal portion of said traction means (14). Moreover, said at least one clip (20) is connected to a ring (24) formed at a distal end (24a) of said suture (22) to pull the tissue to be excised.
