A skin biopsy punch has a limited length cutting edge, allowing a user to view a patient's skin through a top of the cutting edge and around a portion to be cut. In one embodiment, a portion of the handle adjacently coupled to the cutting edge is transparent. In a further embodiment, the cutting edge is supported by spaced apart connective sections coupled to a handle, allowing viewing of a skin lesion and the lesion's margins. By viewing the margins, the lesion may be cleanly removed or excised with a higher rate of negative or clear surgical margins. |
