KEYES CUTANEOUS PUNCH, ROUND, 3MM TIP, 4"

The solid knurled handle provides a gripping surface for the user who controls the depth of the excision. The Keyes punch is often used in gynecological biopsies where a deeper tissue sample is useful for the pathologist. This specific punch has a 3mm diameter, however, is available up to 8mm.
