HydroMARK™
BREAST BIOPSY SITE MARKERS
Exclusive hydrogel technology provides clinicians with long-term ultrasound visibility.1, 2
HydroMARK™ Breast Biopsy Site Markers
Highly Visible
The HydroMARK™ markers hydrate to provide long-term visibility even after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.2,3
Allows Easier Localization
Consistently place any localization device under Ultrasound.3
Creates a Better Patient Experience
Localization under ultrasound provides a faster, more comfortable procedure for the patient.3
Conspicuity Under MRI
The HydroMARK™ markers are uniquely distinguishable during a T2 sequence.4
Three distinct shapes for visibility
- Open Coil
- Butterfly
- Barrel
