Claim:
1. A method of implanting a marker in a biopsy site, comprising: positioning a delivery device in a biopsy site, the delivery device comprising an elongate body having a proximal end, a distal end, a lumen extending between the proximal and distal ends, and a filter element disposed in the lumen; deploying a marker from the delivery device into the biopsy site; and after deploying the marker, deploying a securing agent from the delivery device into the biopsy site, wherein the securing agent comprises a material that accelerates clotting to substantially limit migration of the marker from the biopsy site, wherein prior to deploying the securing agent, the securing agent is located in the delivery device lumen, distal of the filter element, and wherein the filter element is semi-permeable, such that fluid may pass through the filter element, while the securing agent is substantially prevented from passing through the filter element.
