Do a search with "harpoon+Kopan's needle" and you will see "harpoon" is not used.

spear

Explanation:
La extirpación de los tumores no palpables precisa realizar una técnica de marcaje del sitio donde se observa la lesión que guie la cirugía, ya sea con la inserción asistida por ecografía o mamografía de un fino fiador metálico, como técnica más extendida, o mediante otras técnicas como la ecografía intra- operatoria, la tinción del trayecto de acceso o la más reciente consistente en la detección del isotopo utilizado para la biopsia de ganglio centinela (Técnica ROLL o SNOLL).

liz askew: there is no way they are going to use a spear, which can be a mimimum of about 5-6 feet long!/The point I am making is that a spear is a long weapon!!!/

39 mins

-> What about a "arpón"? Do you know how long it is/ Do you mean the Spanish doctors are stupid when they call it an "arpón"? I will be waiting for your answer to my entry in the discussion.

Charles Davis: I can't see any evidence that any English-speaking doctor calls it a spear.

Joseph Tein: Hola Ria. En inglés, "spear" = "lanza" y nada más. Una "lanza" para pescar se llama "harpoon" pero "spear" y "harpoon" son dos palabras distintas con distintos sentidos.

liz askew: I think a "harpoon" would be rather drastic./We can all quote dictionaries, but is "harpoon" used by physicians. SJLD has already commented

1 hr

-> :) yes it does sound drastic ...

neutral

Charles Davis: Well, it seems that English-speaking doctors do sometimes call this thing a harpoon; there are quite a number of references apart from yours. But it doesn't seem to be the standard term in English.

7 hrs

-> :) you are right, no doubt. thank you

agree

Joseph Tein: Can you find a reference written originally in English by native-English authors? All 3 of these references are translations (or possibly authored by people who don't appear to be native Engish speakers).// Excellent reference!!

agree

SJLD: hook-wire - the Kopan's needle is used to introduce the hook which is left in place to mark the area to be biopsied. The needle is of course withdrawn when the hook is in place, so the biopsy specimen would not contain the needle under any circumstances

1 hr

-> Thank you very much. This is what I had understood after looking into this term. Thanks for taking the time to vote and read this:)

agree

Charles Davis: Definitely: plenty of references apart from yours with "hook wire", "hookwire", "hooked wire" and just "wire". Specialists probably vary in which of these they prefer. "Hooked wire" seems logical.
