Description
The porous, non-woven fabric allows for flexible placement over the area and easy marking with the felt tip pen. The overall dimensions are 7.5 inches wide by 10.5 inches long, with the actual grid measuring 5 inches wide and 8 inches long; leaving 1 cm markings along each slice and clear indication of right and left side. With just two strips of adhesive along the back, the Fast Find Grid is easy to attach to any area of the body.
To use the grid, simply remove the backing from the tape, place over the area of interest and press down on the adhesive strips. When looking at the CT scan notice the 12 dots on the skin surface, and determine which dot best represents the point of entry. Then mark through the area with a felt tip pen, where the laser crosses the line. Remove the grid, and perform your biopsy.
The Fast Find Grid is CE marked, Latex Free, and comes as a pack of 25 grids. The Fast Find Grid increases the accuracy of needle placement and reduces the number of needle repositioning and rescanning. It is a single use product, which avoids cross contamination.
Most importantly, the Fast Find Grid increases accuracy and saves time. Visit FastFindGrid.com for more information or to order samples.
