Abstract
A biopsy device to remove tissue from a patient and place a marker in the patient. The device includes a needle with an opening where tissue enters. The tissue which enters the opening is cut and stored in the device. After the desired number of tissue samples are obtained, a marker is released from the same needle opening. The biopsy sampling and marker release are integrated for one hand operation in a single device.
