Prepackaged collections of the devices and supplies (either custom or standard) needed for performing a soft tissue biopsy procedure. Items in these kits usually include Luer lock syringes, needles, anesthetics, scalpel, specimen tubes with caps, microscope slides, and a ruler; kits may also include gauze pads, towels, a fenestrated drape, and adhesive bandages. The kits are frequently supplied in supporting trays (i.e., procedure trays) consisting of a flat-bottomed receptacle with a border around the periphery supporting all the instruments and supplies needed for the procedure; the trays are usually covered or wrapped. Soft tissue biopsy procedure kits and trays are intended for use during the removal of a small sample of soft tissue (e.g., skin, fat, muscle, tendon) for microscopic (in-vitro) laboratory examination.
