CA 2276788

An applier for delivering and deploying a biopsy marker to a surgical biopsy site is disclosed. The applier has a ferrule with a forming surface to form the marker on the distal end of a flexible tube. The marker is held at the distal end of the flexible tube in a marker holder. A forming rod slidable in the flexible tube urges the marker into contact with the forming surface of the ferrule for marker formation. The distal end of the flexible tube is delivered through an egress tube, which in turn is delivered through a biopsy cannula adapted for taking the biopsy sample. The egress tube has an alignment hub at its proximal end adapted for orientational alignment with a hub receiver on the biopsy cannula. When properly aligned, the egress opening of the distal end of the egress tube is orientationally aligned with the biopsy port of the biopsy cannula for proper delivery and deployment of the marker.
