An apparatus for delivery of a biopsy marker to a biopsy site includes a grip, a cannula, at least one biopsy marker, and a sterile guide. The cannula extends distally from the grip and includes a lumen extending at least partially therethrough. A maker exit opening is defined by the cannula and is in communication with the lumen. The at least one biopsy marker is disposed in the lumen for deployment through the marker exit opening. The sterile guide is slidable along the cannula and is configured to selectively fasten to the grip.
