Zusammenfassung:A tissue morcellating device ( 1 ) is provided for morcellating tissue within a body cavity of a patient. The morcellating device ( 1 ) comprisies a hollow tube ( 3 ) having a distal end portion, and tissue cutting means ( 5 ) located at the distal end of the tube, such that, when relative movement is initiated between the tube and the tissue, a core of severed tissue is formed within the tube for removal from the body cavity of the patient through the hollow tube. The hollow tube ( 3 ) is provided with a stop mechanism ( 7 ) which is longitudinally adjustable with respect to the hollow tube ( 3 ), the stop mechanism being provided with a shoulder ( 8 ) for limiting the longitudinal insertion of the tube into the patient's body.
