ABSTRACT:
A modified wire having one or more markers for locating lesions contained within afflicted tissue, wherein the markers help establish the position of the surgeon's scalpel in relation to the tip of the wire and to the lesion so that the surgeon can quickly and accurately remove the lesion which may or may not be contained near the tip of the modified wire. Each marker comprises a palpable surface which is detectable when the surgeon encounters the marker.
