Summary: | A biopsy device and method may be used to obtain a tissue sample, such as a breast tissue biopsy sample. A biopsy device may include an outer cannula having a distal piercing tip, a cutter lumen, and a cutter tube that rotates and translates past a side aperture in the outer cannula to sever a tissue sample. An exemplary sample capturing structure (e.g., platter, barrel, etc.) has a plurality of sample cavities (e.g., radially symmetric, revolver handgun orientation, etc.) that are aligned one at a time (e.g., manually, etc.) to capture and store one or more tissue samples. |
