Abstract

This invention is an improved tissue localizing device for fixedly yet removably marking a volume of tissue containing a suspect region for excision. This invention also encompasses methods for deployment of the localizing device and its excision along with the marked tissue volume. At least one locator element (200) is deployed into tissue (10) and assumes a predetermined curvilinear shape to define a tissue border containing a suspect tissue region along a path. The locator element path preferably encompasses the distalmost portion of the tissue volume (20) without penetrating that volume (20). Multiple locator elements (200') may be deployed to further define the tissue volume along additional paths defining the tissue volume border that do not penetrate the volume (20).
