A biopsy device (22) for obtaining biopsy specimens from hard or soft tissue includes a biopsy trocar (22) which may be inserted into a cannula and a removable biopsy specimen holder (36) which is preferably threaded into the biopsy trocar. The specimen holder preferably includes a cutting edge (42) (e.g., serrated for hard tissue, slicing for soft tissue), and retaining fishscales or scallop members (48) securely holding the biopsy specimen. Once the biopsied specimen is cut from the tissue, it may be sent, within the removable specimen holder, to the pathologist for analysis. |
