Bracketing is a concept that has been used for over 20 years. In trying to reduce the high incidence of positive margins and the need for reexcision or mastectomy after single hooked wire incisions, a system of placing multiple hooked wires around the perimeter of a lesion before excision has become more common. Surgeons benefit from the use of Ranfac stiffening cannulas (supplied in their own sterile pouch), which provide a palpable landmark, an indication of the wire course and prevent accidental shearing.
