Prepackaged collections (either custom or standard) of equipment and supplies used for performance of a biopsy procedure (i.e., the removal of a small piece of living tissue from an organ or other part of the body for microscopic examination to confirm or establish a diagnosis, estimate prognosis, or follow the course of disease in a patient). Typical types of biopsy procedures include aspiration biopsies, needle biopsies, punch biopsies, and surface biopsies.
