Used for preoperative marking of nonpalpable breast lesions
Reference burnish mark, when visible just outside the needle hub on the spring-hook wire, provides visual assurance that the hook wire is within the needle tip during needle manipulation
The reinforced tip of the spring-hook wire on the modified needles serves as a visual and palpable landmark for the surgeon to gauge distance to the lesion during dissection and reduces the risk of severing the hook wire
