Disposable products developer Merit Medical Systems has introduced Scout Access Guide, a new slim guide option for oncoplastic breast surgery and lymph node dissection.
The latest addition to Merit's wire-free radar localization portfolio, Access Guide features a 53% reduction in guide diameter and a longer working length to facilitate navigation within the cavity, according to the company.
The company believes the option will lead to additional clinical use of wire-free radar localization. The company notes that Scout has been adopted by over 660 hospitals in the U.S. and over 100,000 women have experienced wire-free localization with Scout.
