Biopsy punches designed to excise a segment (frequently in the form of a disc) of bone tissue intended for laboratory examination and/or test with minimal sample damage. These punches are typically handheld, manual instruments with a movable, sharp, hollow tube at one or both distal ends and a handle (sometimes configured for mallet striking). Dedicated biopsy bone punches are available in several sizes and with a variety of working end shapes (e.g., round, half round) intended for specific bones or bone parts (e.g., femur neck).
