Localization wires
SOMATEX® localization wires – precise marking of breast lesions
SOMATEX marking wires allow intraoperative tumor localization for surgeons by marking breast lesions. Should it be necessary to correct the position when marking, the localization wire can be pulled back into the cannula and released again after repositioning.
20-gauge thin, sharp puncture cannulas ensure minimally invasive treatment. All localization wires are made of the biocompatible implant material Nitinol and are available with different cannula lengths.
