The Fast Find Grid: CT Guided Biopsy Grid
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.
- Radio opaque grid yields a readily identifiable dot pattern on each CT image
- 1cm markings across each slice for precise needle placement
- Flexible grid material conforms closely to the patient’s anatomy for accurate imaging
- Disposable grid prevents cross-contamination
- Tape strips assure non-slip positioning
- Fast, accurate pinpointing of area of concern saves time and money
- Porous grid allows accurate marking of area with felt-tip or marking pen
Step One: Remove backing from tape.
Step Five: Mark through the grid with a felt tip pen where the laser crosses the line.
Step Two: Place and scan over the area of interest.
Step Six: Remove the grid and perform your biopsy.
Step Three: Notice the twelve dots on the skin surface.
The Fast Find Grid is used to find the point of entry in CT-guided interventional procedures including:
- Radiofrequency/cryoablation
- Minimally invasive spinal interventions
- Catheter/hardware placement
- Biopsy
- Drainage
Step Four: Determine which dot best represents the point of entry.
