Abstract:
A medical device can include an actuator that is gripped and manipulated by an operator of the medical device. An outer cannula can extend from the actuator along an axis. The outer cannula can include a tissue reception port. An inner cannula can be located inside the outer cannula and extend in an axial direction. An inner lumen can be located inside the inner cannula and actuated to collect a tissue sample via the tissue reception port. In addition, a secondary lumen can be adjacent to the outer cannula and actuated to deploy a marker at a biopsy site via a marker deployment port. Tissue sampling and marker placement functions can be integrated within only one medical device such that the medical device is a single apparatus that performs both tissue sampling and marker placement functions.

Claim (Index 4):
The medical device of  claim 1 , wherein the secondary lumen is located inside the primary lumen of the outer cannula, the secondary lumen is physically separated from the primary lumen by a partition, the marker deployment port extends from the primary lumen to an exterior of the outer cannula, and a distal end of the secondary lumen is adjacent the marker deployment port.
