Gamma Finder II Wireless Devices offered by Aurora BioScience Pty are handheld devices used in surgery during procedures like lymph node mapping or sentinel node biopsy. These surgical products are gamma ray detectors. These devices detect the gamma radiation from a radioactive liquid (marker), which has been injected around the tumour site, under the patient's skin. The marker migrates to the lymph nodes (drainage points for the lymphatic system), making it possible for these units to pinpoint nodes. The surgeon uses these surgical products as probe to determine what nodes are the most likely affected by the cancer. The primary node in the lymphatic drainage chain near the tumour is known as the sentinel node. With the help of these Gamma Finder II Devices, only the sentinel node is removed, allowing diagnosis with minimal trauma to the body. These Gamma Finder II Probes automatically powers up and begins counting gamma rays on the push of any button.
