Abstract: This invention relates to a method of performing accurate biopsies, particularly core breast biopsies, and a device for facilitating the accuracy of the taking of biopsies. The device involves the provision of guiding members or wing-type projections on at least two sides of the barrel of a biopsy gun. Each guiding member is parallel to the axis of a biopsy needle attached to the gun and there are at least two guiding members projecting from the barrel of the gun substantially perpendicular to one another. Each guiding member is preferably in line with the needle, so that in use the biopsy needle is in the plane of each guiding member. The device may be in the form of a biopsy gun with the guiding members integrally formed or affixed, or it may be in the form of an attachment for attaching to a conventional biopsy gun.
