[Use of a universal ferro-probe pole locator PF-01 in medicine].

The versatile II phi-01 flux-gate magnetic pole locator is intended for detecting and locating ferromagnetic foreign bodies in human tissue. The sensitivity of the device to magnetic field gradient is 4 mOe/cm on a large scale. The device can be used to locate a hypodermic needle at a distance of 50-90 mm, a sewing needle at 60-122 mm, a routine 7.62-mm bullet at 90 mm and a 5.6-mm bullet at 105 mm.
