Abstract: A biopsy site marker includes a carrier, and a marker element. The marker element includes a primary coil, a first anchor and a second anchor. The primary coil is disposed within the carrier. At least a portion of the first anchor and the second anchor extend outwardly from opposite sides of the carrier. The first anchor and second anchor are configured to move relative to the primary coil to engage tissue at a biopsy site.

Abstract: A core needle biopsy device includes a needle assembly, a drive assembly, and a user interface. The needle assembly includes a piercer and a hollow cutter. The piercer includes a sharp distal tip and a notch proximal to the distal tip. The piercer is slidably disposed within the cutter to sever a tissue sample into the notch of the piercer. The drive assembly is configured to selectively move the piercer and the cutter. The user interface has a plurality of indicators. Each indicator of the plurality of indicators is configured to independently transition between a plurality of predetermined states to collectively define a plurality of predetermined status sequences that indicate movement of the piercer and the cutter via the drive mechanism.

Abstract: An apparatus for delivery of a biopsy marker to a biopsy site includes a grip, a cannula, at least one biopsy marker, and a sterile guide. The cannula extends distally from the grip and includes a lumen extending at least partially therethrough. A maker exit opening is defined by the cannula and is in communication with the lumen. The at least one biopsy marker is disposed in the lumen for deployment through the marker exit opening. The sterile guide is slidable along the cannula and is configured to selectively fasten to the grip.
