GetMet has a wide range of clinical applications across orthopaedics, trauma surgery, emergency medicine, military medicine and veterinary practice. It helps surgeons locate metallic objects in soft tissue and bone quickly and accurately, without using ionising radiation. The device can be covered with a sterile protective bag for use in the sterile environment.

Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology

GetMet is particularly useful for locating metallic implants used in fracture treatment, including screws, plates, blades, Kirschner wires (K-wires), pins and cerclage wires. It supports both the removal of fixation materials during planned procedures and the localisation of implants or fragments during trauma and reconstructive surgery.

The device is especially relevant in hand and foot surgery, where small metallic components can be difficult to locate accurately, particularly when surrounded by scar tissue or embedded in bone.

Trauma and Emergency Surgery

In emergency situations, GetMet can help locate metallic foreign bodies such as bullets, shrapnel, needles, nails, fish hooks and metal fragments. This can support surgical exploration and removal while helping to reduce unnecessary tissue disruption.

Military and Humanitarian Medicine

In military and humanitarian settings, GetMet can help medical teams locate bullets, shrapnel and other metallic fragments in patients injured in conflict zones and other emergency environments. Its handheld design makes it suitable for use in field hospitals and resource-limited settings.
