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
Lymph Node Indication
The HydroMARK™ direct puncture applicators are indicated to mark tissue during a percutaneous breast biopsy procedure, including axillary lymph nodes.5
Conspicuity Under MRI
The HydroMARK™ markers are uniquely distinguishable during a T2 sequence.4
