Brief summary

The purpose of this registry study is to collect use and clinical outcomes data following breast lesion excision or sampling with the Intact BLES.

Interventions

DEVICEIntact Breast Lesion Excision System (BLES)

Intact BLES is an automated, percutaneous biopsy device capable of delivering a surgical quality specimen for histological review of breast abnormalities. It is uniquely suited to maintain lesion architecture within the biopsy sample, providing an opportunity for pathological assessment and the potential avoidance of an open surgical procedure.

Inclusion criteria

* Female * Age ≥ 18 years * BIRADS ≤ 5, as initially imaged * Subject is willing and capable of providing informed consent and has a scheduled or planned breast lesion excision or sampling where the Intact BLES is expected to be used

Exclusion criteria

* Male * Subjects with subglandular (pre-pectoral, or single plane) breast implants * Subjects with electronic implantable devices (such as pacemakers and defibrillators) * Subjects who are contraindicated for surgery due to factors such as anti-coagulant use which cannot be safely reversed
