Metallic particles, such as screws, wires and other foreign metal bodies in soft tissue and bone can sometimes be a real problem. Sometimes these particles get under the skin accidentally, sometimes intentionally, for instance in fracture treatment. The only method generally available for detecting these metallic particles is the X-ray, which can be costly inconvenient and exposes the patient and the personnel to radiation.
GetMet is a perfect solution. It is an extremely handy device, suitable for detecting all types of metal, including titanium and rust proof metals. In first aid it is suitable for removing metal objects, such as bullets, splinters, nails, metal chips and pins from the body. It can also be used in deeper surgery, for instance in carrying out a laparotomy or a thoracotomy
