  • Impedance measuring probe and biopsy apparatus
    Patent number: 12144601
    Abstract: An impedance measuring probe for use in a biopsy apparatus includes a metal elongate member having an elongate surface, a proximal end portion, and a distal end portion. The elongate surface has a recessed longitudinal channel having a depth that longitudinally extends from the proximal end portion into the distal end portion. A conductive wire electrode, having a connection end and a sensing end, is located in and extends along the recessed longitudinal channel. The connection end extends from the proximal end portion of the elongate member and the sensing end is located at the distal end portion of the elongate member. An insulation material is disposed in the recessed longitudinal channel of the elongate member and around the conductive wire electrode so as to electrically insulate the conductive wire electrode, and with the sensing end of the conductive wire electrode being exposed.
