Abstract
A tissue localizing and separating assembly comprises a shaft, having a distal shaft portion, and a tissue separator device extending along the shaft. The tissue separator device has a distal separator part at the distal shaft portion movable between a retracted state, towards the distal shaft portion, and an outwardly extending, operational state, away from the distal shaft portion. A tissue localization assembly has a radially-expandable end. An elongate coupler may be used to dock the tissue localization assembly to the tissue separator device.
