MOON™
Breast lesion localization needle
MOON™ needle is an effective support in the diagnostic imaging technique for the preoperative localization of non-palpable breast lesions.
- The particular sharpness of the needle tip improves penetration.
- Centimetre depth marker, sliding stopper and internal echo marker.
- Easier and more accurate control of the depth reached.
- The non-repositionable hook, available as a “single hook” or “double hook”, is used as a guide for lesion removal.
MOON™ is visible with:
- Ultrasound – Used in real-time during placement and for verification if the lesion is visible on ultrasound.
- Mammography – The most common method, providing clear visualization of the wire.
The special sharpening of the tip enhances penetration, making it easier to reach the examination area while preventing excessive deflections.
The centimetre markings on the cannula, along with the sliding stopper and the external echo marker, improve control and safety in determining the depth reached.
The metal wire, available with a “single hook” or a “double hook”, serves as a guide towards the lesion to be excised.
The MOON™ needle features an easy-to-use universal Luer-lock connector and an ergonomic grip made of transparent plastic.
Surgical Technique:
- Make a small incision on the skin to facilitate the insertion of the needle.
- Under ultrasound guidance, identify the nodule to be localized. Depending on the chosen technique, insert the needle equipped with a single or double hook.
- Advance the guidewire through the needle to correctly mark the nodule.
- Once the guidewire is positioned and the lesion is localized, gently remove the needle.
- Secure the ends using adhesive strips or other fixation methods.
- The guidewire inserted into the patient must remain in place and should not be subjected to any forces that could cause it to break. Do not attempt to move or reposition it, and ensure that the patient avoids sudden movements while awaiting the surgical excision procedure.
