An end-cut biopsy gun handpiece/needle is a manual, spring-loaded surgical tool used to extract intact tissue samples for pathological testing. It delivers a full-width core of soft tissue—such as from organs like the prostate, liver, or breast—with minimal surrounding damage, often guided by imaging for precision.
These devices are single-use, non-electronic instruments regulated as surgical tools, typically requiring compliance with general medical device standards. Classification and supply vary by jurisdiction, but they’re generally designed for sterile, procedural use in clinical settings like radiology or surgery.
