Abstract
A support or holder for a biopsy device is disclosed. The support includes a holder section that grasps or otherwise supports the biopsy device, wherein the support may be configured with flexible support members that may be bent, flexed or articulated thereby allowing the practitioner to manipulate the support for re-positioning the biopsy device into a desired position where the biopsy device may then be actuated to acquire a tissue sample.
