First-generation gamma detection devices consist of a gamma probe wired to a stationary console in the operating room. Determining the gamma count usually requires a circulating nurse to announce the reading on the machine display, which is not visible to the surgeon in the sterile field. In addition, such machines typically require additional time for set-up, plus more time for tear-down following the procedure.

Gamma Finder^® is the only self-contained, cordless, battery operated gamma detection probe. The large display is conveniently placed on the opposite end of the gamma probe, enabling the surgeon to easily correlate the sound feedback with the numeric display. Setting up the Gamma Finder probe consists of simply slipping the device into its own custom-designed disposable sterile bag and depressing any button. Gamma Finder comes equipped with a 10-second count feature as well as a binary pitch mode. With its small, convenient size, Gamma Finder does not take up valuable operating room space, and there are no cords to get in the way during the procedure.
