1. A tissue sampling device, comprising:
a needle;
a sheath; and
a handle for a medical device, comprising:
a central portion, the central portion comprising a central channel and an introducer port, the central channel extending from a proximal end of the central portion to a distal end of the central portion and being tapered at a distal end of the central channel to fix a proximal end of the sheath within the distal end of the central channel, wherein the introducer port is positioned proximate the proximal end of the central portion, wherein the introducer port is configured to receive an ultrasound probe and direct the ultrasound probe into the central channel and toward the distal end of the central portion; and
a proximal portion, a distal end of the proximal portion slidably connected to the proximal end of the central portion, the proximal portion comprising a proximal channel aligned with the central channel and extending from a proximal end of the proximal portion to the distal end of the proximal portion,
wherein the proximal channel is configured to fix a proximal end of the needle therewithin.
