  • Breast Biopsy Marker And System
    Publication number: 20230255720
    Abstract: A breast biopsy marker includes a catheter shaft and a bioabsorbable balloon. The catheter shaft has a lumen, a proximal tube portion, and a distal tube portion. The proximal tube portion is joined to the distal tube portion by a frangible link. The distal tube portion has a one-way valve located in the lumen. The bioabsorbable balloon is fixedly connected to the distal tube portion to define a balloon assembly. The bioabsorbable balloon is configured for fluid communication with the lumen of the catheter shaft at a location distal to the one-way valve of the distal tube portion of the catheter shaft. The balloon assembly is configured to be separated from the proximal tube portion of the catheter shaft by breaking the frangible link.
