ABSTRACT:
A minimally invasive biopsy device includes a cylindrical retractor and a cylindrical cutting tool slidingly engaged within the cylindrical retractor. The cylindrical retractor is adapted for insertion in an incision above a lesion to be excised, and separates the walls of the incision to provide access to the tissue to be excised. The cylindrical cutting tool has a cutting means which makes a cylindrical incision around the tissue to be excised. The tissue can then be accurately and quickly removed.
