Global Breast Localization Wire Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025
A breast localization wire, also known as a guide wire or localization needle, is a slender wire used to mark the location of a breast abnormality before surgery. It is inserted into the breast tissue under imaging guidance, typically mammography or ultrasound, to guide the surgeon to the precise area of concern. The wire is inserted into the breast, with one end positioned at the site of the abnormality and the other end extending outside the breast, allowing the surgeon to follow its path during the surgical procedure. The breast localization wire acts as a navigational tool, ensuring accurate and targeted removal of the abnormal tissue during procedures such as lumpectomies or excisional biopsies. It assists the surgeon in removing the specific area of interest while preserving healthy breast tissue. The wire is typically removed at the time of surgery, after the lesion has been excised. Breast localization wires play a crucial role in ensuring precise surgical intervention and optimizing patient outcomes.
