Hologic’s range of biopsy markers comes in multiple shapes, gauges, and lengths, allowing physicians to individualize care for each patient. Our extensive selection of markers includes options for use with stereotactic, ultrasound, and MRI-guided biopsies. All markers are equipped with ergonomic and easy-to-use deployment devices.
Deployment modality: ultrasound
Deployment device gauge: 18G
Deployment device length: 10 cm or 12 cm

Features and details: This marker is used to mark biopsy sites, suspicious lesions, and axillary lymph nodes
• 3D structure firmly anchors in tissue4 with a mesh structure that ensures long-term visibility
• These markers expand into their shapes after deployment, anchoring in tissue6 and can be detected in ultrasound and stereotactic imaging
• These markers are made of biocompatible implant material nitinol and remain visible in tissue
• 18-gauge thin sharp puncture cannula enables precise marking and ensures minimally invasive treatment
• Ergonomic delivery device handles allow one-handed use
Deployment modality: ultrasound and stereotactic
Deployment device gauge: 18G
Deployment device length: 10 cm or 12 cm (ultrasound) and 12.35cm, 12.75cm, 13.3cm and 12.95cm (stereotactic)

Features and details: This marker is used to mark biopsy sites, suspicious lesions, and axillary lymph nodes

Tumark Professional Q and U markers are sanded nitinol, designed to provide exceptional visibility in ultrasound and excellent visibility in mammography upon deployment. Physicians reported good to excellent ultrasound visibility after deployment in 85% of marker placements.
The intelligent design on all six different, easily recognizable shapes1 ensures acoustic tissue fixation. The non-resorbable material expands into the marker shape upon deployment to improve anchor stability after breast biopsy procedure.
In the initial data collection study: 91% of markers placed under ultrasound did not migrate, as measured on post-procedure mammogram.1 In 9 out of 10 cases, the marker is precisely placed in ultrasound at the intended area.
Ergonomic handle for one-handed operation. For all modalities, the deployment device includes a sharp or blunt cannula and centimeter markings for depth orientation. In 99% of completed procedures, physicians agreed that the handle was easy to use when deployed in ultrasound.
