Pins Explanation: Could these be the pins that hold the bone together while it regenreates? Arpones are literally harpoons. Just a thought. HTH Rick |

breast biopsy marker Explanation: I am no expert in this area, but I think it might be breast biopsy markers. In any case, it seems like some kind of marker from what I have read. Hope it helps. Sheila > Histo Venta de productos y tecnología para biopsias y arpones para marcación prequirúrgica. - Argentina > Hospimédicos http://www.dobleu.com/categorias/20/336/346/pag5.htm 2 Colocación de arpones Si durante la mamografía se encuentra una pequeña área anormal, un arpón puede ser insertado para que sirva como guía para el cirujano que puede, posteriormente, extirpar la zona sospechosa. Punción Aspiración de quistes o abscesos de mama son realizados frecuentemente por radiólogos, usando la guía ecográfica. http://www.abctusalud.com/documento.asp?ID=4095&G=133 Conceptos En el pasado, la gran mayoría de los procedimientos diagnósticos y terapéuticos sobre la mama eran tradicionalmente realizados quirúrgicamente y guiados por palpación. Con el advenimiento de la mamografía y la generalización de programas de screening para el diagnóstico de cáncer de mama en estadios iniciales, se evidenciaron imágenes no palpables sugestivas de malignidad, y otras de menor grado de sospecha que ameritan su estudio histológico. Hasta no hace mucho tiempo, el estudio de estas imágenes estaba reservado a la biopsia radioquirúrgica, en la que se emplean arpones metálicos o colorantes para guiar al cirujano durante la intervención, se realiza la exéresis de la zona marcada y por último se controla la pieza radiológicamente, con la finalidad de asegurar la extirpación completa de la lesión. http://www.tocogineconet.com.ar/revisiones/lesionesnopalpabl... Breast Biopsy Site Marker Non-confidential summary Inventors: Laurie L. Fajardo and Mary E. Jensen This non-confidential summary describes a novel marker that can be used to localize the site of a previous biopsy. The problem: When needle biopsy of a breast lesion is performed, the radiographic evidence of the breast lesion can be distorted or inadvertently removed. When the needle biopsy pathology shows carcinoma, further localization must be accomplished to surgically excise the entire cancer. If the radiographic evidence of the lesion is no longer well-defined or is no longer present, subsequent localization is problematic. The discovery: We have developed a small marker device that can be inserted through the biopsy needle at the time of the biopsy. This marker provides a radiographic target for future localization if surgical excision of carcinoma becomes necessary. If the needle biopsy is not cancerous and additional surgery is not indicated, the marker is small and can remain in place. Improvements over other markers: Until recently, breast biopsy markers were not available. Current devices use large bore needles to place marking “clips”. This marker is intended for insertion through the needles commonly used with biopsy (“gun”) devices. Furthermore, the marker will identify the precise site of the biopsy, and it will not migrate in the tissue. http://www.uvapf.org/technology/viewInvention.cfm?inventionI... |
