It consists of a probe with an opening in the tip that connects to a vacuum source, a thumbwheel that controls the direction of the opening, a hollow, high-speed rotating cutter, and a tissue collection chamber.
A technique utilized to extract breast biopsy samples by employing suction to draw tissue into an aperture located on the side of a cylindrical device inserted into the breast tissue.
