Probe-guide for identifying and harvesting a biopsy

A probe-guide (1) for guiding, identifying, and harvesting a biopsy, the probe-guide (1) is substantially tube-shaped, having a distal and a proximal end wherein the distal end is for insertion into a body and the proximal end is for connection to an energy source, wherein the wall of the probe-guide (1) comprises a first (e) and a second (f) opening, the first opening (e) is arranged in the distal end or tip,

• the second opening (f) is arranged at a distance from the distal end or tip, preferably arranged in the sidewall of the probe-guide (1), and wherein
• the probe-guide (1) is designed to receive another device into its lumen such as:
• iii) a removable optical probe (2) for optical guidance and/or identification of malign tissue, wherein the probe (2) is essentially tube-shaped outer housing accommodating optical fibers, the probe (2) has a distal and a proximal end wherein the distal end is for insertion into a body and the proximal end is for connection to an energy source, optical fiber pairs are arranged in close proximity towards the distal end, the optical fibers at least 4 and the diameter of the fibers are in the range of 125 to 250 μm, the probe (2) is removably arranged into the lumen of the probe-guide (1) configured to transmit and receive light via the first opening (e), and/or
• iv) a removable biopsy needle (3) for harvesting a biopsy, wherein the biopsy needle (3) is removably arranged into the lumen of the probe-guide (1) configured to harvest a biopsy via the second opening (f),
• wherein the probe (2) and the biopsy needle (3) are not arranged in the lumen of the probe-guide (1) simultaneously.
