Additional Information for Breast Localizer Needle
Breast localizer needles are medical devices used in breast localization procedures. These procedures are typically performed prior to a breast biopsy or surgery to help guide the surgeon to the specific area of concern within the breast.
The breast localizer needle is a thin, hollow needle that is inserted into the breast tissue under imaging guidance, such as mammography or ultrasound. It is designed to accurately mark the location of a suspicious or abnormal area within the breast.
Once the needle is inserted, a wire or other marker is placed through the needle and into the breast tissue. This wire or marker serves as a guide for the surgeon during the subsequent procedure, ensuring that the targeted area is easily identifiable and accessible.
Breast localizer needles are typically made of stainless steel or other biocompatible materials. They come in various sizes and lengths to accommodate different patient needs and procedural requirements.
These needles are part of the supply class "Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies" within the supply group "Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies." They are specifically used in the field of breast localization procedures, which are commonly performed in medical, dental, and veterinary settings.
