APPARATUS FOR IMPLANTING A PRELOADED LOCALIZATION WIRE

摘要

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