Abstract: A biopsy holding device for a biopsy cannula to perform transcutaneous biopsies, in particular of hard tissue and bone marrow tissue, uses a wire that can be inserted into the proximal end of a biopsy cannula and can be pushed in between the inner wall of the biopsy cannula and the tissue-removing biopsy cylinder.

Abstract: The invention relates to an injection pump for application of highly viscous media that have to be applied with high pressure, in particular during percutaneous vertebroplasty. Vertebroplasty relates to a method for treating bone pain which can occur, in particular, in spinal diseases or in other bones. Osteoporosis is the beginning of the disease, subsequently leading to tumoural diseases. The pain, in this group of diseases, is related to an increase of the loss of bone mass, which can also be associated with an increase in bone deformity. This deformity causes pain to the patient, the pain being a piercing, sometimes deep, drilling-like pain.

Abstract: The invention relates to a biopsate holding device for a biopsy cannula to perform transcutaneous biopsies, in particular of hard tissue and bone marrow tissue, by means of a wire that can be inserted into the proximal end of a biopsy cannula and can be pushed in between the inner wall of the biopsy cannula and the removing biopsate cylinder.
