Tissue Filter Components
The tissue filter is a twelve-chambered container where the biopsy cores are collected for
imaging. During the biopsy process, the tissue samples are aspirated through the biopsy
needle tubing to the in-line tissue filter. A tissue filter cap is provided to cover and seal
the tissue filter for storage in formalin.
