1. A method for treating a site within a patient from which tissue has been removed, comprising:
- providing at least one press-formed marker body formed of polysaccharide and a suitable binder, wherein each of the at least one press-formed marker body is formed of a mixture of 65% (by wt.) powder of corn starch or potato starch and 35% (by wt.) methylcellulose binder; and
placing the at least one of the press-formed marker body within the site where tissue has been removed so as to provide hemostasis therein.

12. A method to facilitate treating a site within a patient from which tissue has been removed, comprising:
-
providing a plurality of marker members, each marker member of the plurality of marker members comprising a press-formed marker body formed of bioabsorbable polysaccharide and a binder, the bioabsorbable polysaccharide being in sufficient amounts to exhibit hemostatic properties, wherein at least one of the plurality of marker members is formed of a mixture of 65% (by wt.) powder of corn starch or potato starch and 35% (by wt.) methylcellulose binder, the plurality of marker members being disposed within an inner lumen of a tubular delivery member; and placing the plurality of marker members in a lumen of a delivery tube configured to deliver the plurality of marker members into the site within the patient from which the tissue has been removed.
