Abstract
A device, and methods for using said device, for inserting a marker into a patient's body. The device may comprise a retention mechanism to hold the device in an first, undeployed, state. The device may be inserted into a patient's body in the first state, transitioned by the user into a second state wherein the retention mechanism is overcome, and then transition the device into a third state to deliver a marker to a precise location. The device may then be removed from the patient's body.
