Skin (dermal) biopsy punches designed to excise a segment of skin tissue (frequently in the form of a thin disc several millimeters in diameter) intended for laboratory examination and/or test (i.e., biopsy), with minimal sample or surrounding tissue damage. These punches are reusable after sterilization and/or sharpening. Reusable skin biopsy punches are typically handheld, manual instruments with a hollow metallic tube sharpened at the working end and a handle; typically, the handles are intended for use with a set of interchangeable cutting tips.
