A variety of shapes and options for every modality.

Hologic's range of biopsy site markers come in multiple shapes, gauges and lengths, empowering physicians to individualize each patient’s care. Our comprehensive selection of markers include options for use with stereotactic, ultrasound, and MRI guided biopsies. All markers come with an ergonomic and easy to use deployment device.

Tumark® Biopsy Site Markers

Visibility

Tumark Professional Q and U markers are sandblasted nitinol, designed to provide outstanding visibility in ultrasound, and excellent visibility under mammography at deployment. In 85% of marker placements, physicians stated the ultrasound visibility was good to excellent upon deployment.²

Intelligent Design

Intelligent design on all six distinct, easily identifiable shapes¹ provides sound tissue fixation. Non-resorbing material expands into marker shape upon deployment to improve the stability of the anchor following a breast biopsy procedure.

Accurate Deployment

In the initial data collection study: 91% of markers placed under ultrasound did not migrate, as measured on the post-procedure mammogram.¹ In 9 out of 10 cases the marker deployed accurately in ultrasound to the intended area.¹

Single-handed Operation

Ergonomic handle for single-handed operation. For all modalities, the deployment device includes either a sharp or blunt cannula and centimeter markings for depth orientation. In 99% of procedures completed, physicians agreed the handle was easy to use when deployed in ultrasound.¹

Tumark Marker Shapes

Localize the biopsy site before surgery and after successful therapy with a marker designed for long-term visibility. Tumark breast biopsy marker options provide tissue fixation and visibility in ultrasound and stereotactic modalities.
