    Area of Science:

    • Medical Devices
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Accurate localization of nonpalpable breast lesions is crucial for effective biopsy.
    • Existing localization systems present challenges for both radiologists and surgeons, potentially leading to complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a new needle-wire system designed for improved localization of nonpalpable breast lesions.
    • To address the limitations of conventional localization methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a novel needle-wire system featuring a curved-end wire made of a pseudoelastic alloy.
    • The system allows for needle anchoring during imaging and repositioning if needed.

    Main Results:

    • The new system simplifies the localization procedure for radiologists and surgeons.
    • Key advantages include secure needle anchoring, ease of repositioning, dye injection capability, and prevention of wire transection during surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed needle-wire system offers significant advantages over traditional methods for nonpalpable breast lesion localization.
    • It enhances procedural safety and efficiency, potentially improving surgical dissection and biopsy accuracy.
