Design a tool that will allow for better localizations of lesions and calcifications. It will be comprised of only one needle and will introduce 2-4 wires so that the operator can control the length and direction of the wire tips according to individual lesions. Such a design will provide for more efficient and complete bracketing and also help to promote patient comfort.
