Repositionable Breast Localization Needles
Hawkins™ II BLN is repositionable to achieve accurate placement.
Key Product Attributes
Available in two wire choices: FlexStrand™, a 19-strand cable for maximum flexibility with minimal risk of transection, or a traditional hardwire, which minimizes flex during placement
Both wires offer a side barb for temporary fixation during a confirming mammogram. The needle is easily repositioned, if necessary
Easy-to-read centimeter markings facilitate depth placement
Throated needle hub for easy wire loading
Skin retention clip prevents forward migration of wire during patient transport
Wire is marked in three places: I indicates wire at distal tip of needle; II indicates side barb deployment; and III indicates distal barb deployment
Standard marking cannula on wire, beginning 2.5cm from distal tip, serves as a landmark for the surgeon
