A bone marrow aspiration device includes an outer cannula connected to an outer handle, and a first cannula that fits through the outer cannula and extends beyond a distal end of the outer cannula. The first cannula is connected to a first handle including a mating feature. A removable sharp stylet fits coaxially through the first cannula and is connected to a stylet handle including a mating feature to engage with the mating feature of the first handle, to couple the stylet handle to the first handle. A proximal end of stylet forms an adapter to couple to a drill, the first cannula and stylet rotating together when driven by the drill coupled to the adapter. A second cannula fits through the first cannula once the stylet is removed, a distal end of the second cannula closing off the distal end of the first cannula but leaving open one or more side apertures in the first cannula, to aspirate bone marrow through the open side apertures. A screw mechanism, formed by a lead screw extending from the first handle and engaging a threaded portion of the outer handle, allows the first cannula to be retracted through the outer cannula with rotation of the first handle relative to the outer handle.
