A side-notch biopsy gun needle is a hollow, needle-like instrument used to extract small tissue samples for diagnostic testing. It’s inserted through the skin and, when fired from a biopsy gun, cuts a precise core of tissue—often from organs like the prostate, liver, or breast—while minimizing damage to surrounding areas.
These devices are typically single-use and regulated as invasive surgical tools, requiring compliance with medical device standards. They’re often supplied sterile and may be classified differently depending on the jurisdiction and intended use, such as organ or tissue type.
