Title:

APPARATUS FOR IMPLANTING A PRELOADED LOCALIZATION WIRE

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO2004045480

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

An apparatus (10) for percutaneously implanting a localization wire (80) into a tissue mass (150) comprises a preloaded localization wire (80) with a distal end (82) and a cannula (60) that can retract relative to the localization wire (80) to expose the distal end (82) to the tissue mass (150). A method for implanting a localization wire (80) includes inserting a cannula (60) with a preloaded localization wire (80) into a tissue mass (150) and retracting the cannula (60) relative to the localization wire (80) to expose a portion of the localization wire (80) to the tissue mass (150).
