Abstract: A marker delivery device is described and claims. The marker delivery device is used to implant a detectable marker after a biopsy procedure is performed. The marker delivery device includes a cannula comprising a distal end and a marker exit positioned proximate the distal end; a rod extending within the cannula; and a flexible deployer operatively coupled with the rod and positioned proximate the marker exit.

Abstract: A marker delivery device is described and claims. The marker delivery device is used to implant a detectable marker after a biopsy procedure is performed. The marker delivery device includes a cannula comprising a distal end and a marker exit positioned proximate the distal end; an actuator movable to a marker deployment position, wherein the actuator is slidably disposed within the cannula; and a retainment mechanism configured to retain the actuator in the deployment position.

Abstract: A marker delivery device includes a cannula with a first end, a second end, a marker exit near the second end, a handle into which the cannula extends or to which the cannula is attached, the cannula being capable of receiving a plunger and rod that are operable to deploy a marker from the marker exit, the marker delivery device further including a tapered adaptor portion attached to or surrounding the cannula and abutting the handle. The tapered adaptor portion is configured to engage a plurality of different sleeves for differing biopsy devices. Various aspects offer improved ease of removal from commercially available biopsy devices due to its “pinch release” feature. Various aspects of the device allow use with multiple commercially available biopsy devices so as to ensure proper positioning of the devices for marker deployment.

Abstract: A biopsy system includes a cart and a biopsy device holder. The biopsy device holder is coupled to the cart. The biopsy device holder includes a front holder portion and a rear holder portion. Each holder portion defines an upper support and a lower support. The upper support is configured to support a first biopsy device in lieu of the second biopsy device. The lower support is configured to support a second biopsy device in lieu of the first biopsy device.

Abstract: An image projection module within a housing is operative for causing selected pixels in a raster pattern to be illuminated to produce an image at different image planes of VGA quality. A movable component on the housing causes the image to be formed at a selected image plane.
