"Rotatable syringe device" was invented by John Steele Fisher (Belleair, Fla.) and Wayne A. Noda (Mission Viejo, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A syringe is coupled to a biopsy needle through a coupling structure that includes a motor-driven element such as a gear to rotate the needle. The needle can have a sharp beveled tip which, in cooperation with rotation of the needle, harvests tissue in vivo via rotation rather than multiple "sticks" into the patient."

The patent was filed on Nov. 11, 2021, under Application No. 17/524,219.
