ABSTRACT:
A biopsy device includes a housing. A drive is enclosed in the housing. A biopsy needle assembly has a biopsy needle carrier that carries a biopsy needle. The biopsy needle carrier is positioned in the housing. A vacuum pump is positioned in the housing. The vacuum pump has an elongate cylinder and a piston sealed and movable inside the elongate cylinder. The piston is drivably coupled to the drive. The elongate cylinder is connected to the biopsy needle to generate a vacuum in the biopsy needle when the piston is driven by the drive. The elongate cylinder and the biopsy needle are arranged in parallel by the housing.
