'''Harpoon''' is a medical device used in various surgical procedures. It is a long, slender instrument with a sharp point, often barbed, used for catching or holding tissues during surgery.

== History ==

The use of harpoons in medicine dates back to ancient times. They were originally used in hunting, but their use was adapted for medical purposes due to their ability to penetrate and hold tissues.

== Medical Use ==

In modern medicine, harpoons are used in a variety of surgical procedures. They are particularly useful in procedures that require the manipulation of tissues, such as in [[gastroenterology]], [[cardiology]], and [[neurosurgery]].

=== Gastroenterology ===

In [[gastroenterology]], harpoons are used in procedures such as [[endoscopy]] and [[colonoscopy]]. They are used to hold tissues in place while the surgeon performs the procedure.

=== Cardiology ===

In [[cardiology]], harpoons are used in procedures such as [[angioplasty]] and [[stent]] placement. They are used to guide the placement of the stent and to hold the artery open during the procedure.

=== Neurosurgery ===

In [[neurosurgery]], harpoons are used in procedures such as [[brain surgery]] and [[spinal surgery]]. They are used to hold tissues in place while the surgeon performs the procedure.
