The Hawkins™ III BLN offers a barb retention design to provide strong anchoring strength in the breast.

Other features include:

• Available in two wire choices: FlexStrand™, a 19-strand cable providing maximum flexibility with minimal risk of transection, or a traditional hardwire that minimizes flex during placement
• Skin retention clip prevents forward migration of wire during patient transport
• Wire is marked in two places: I indicates wire at distal tip of needle; II indicates barb deployment
• Standard marking cannula on wire, beginning 2.5 cm from distal tip, serves as a landmark for the surgeon
• End hole design allows for dye injection or fluid aspiration
• Centimeter markings provide reference for depth placement
• Available with echogenic tip
