ABSTRACT:
A marker for surgical procedures which permits an operating surgeon to mark the place to be operated on accurately in a manner which is as free of pain as possible for the patient, and has a tubular guide cannula (1), an introduction tube (2), and a marking pin (3) which is connected to a flexible bar (4), the bar (4) being adapted to be introduced into the introduction tube (2) from its proximal end (5) by such an amount that it protrudes at the distal end (6) of the introduction tube (2). The marking pin (3) can be supported on the proximal end (5) of the introduction tube (2). The introduction tube (2) with the bar (4) therein and the attached marking pin (3) can be introduced via the distal end (8) of the guide cannula (1) into the latter by such an amount that the proximal end (5) of the introduction tube (2) is located in the region of the proximal end (7) of the guide cannula (1), and the marking pin (3) extends out of the proximal end (7) of the guide cannula (1).
