Mammotome Prima™ MR
Dual Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy System
The first ever, in-room vacuum-assisted MR breast biopsy system at the patient’s side to improve clinician coordination, communication, and patient focus.
In-room efficiency for greater confidence and optimized patient care
Larger Tissue Samples1
Shorter tubing, stronger vacuum and 8G probe allows for larger tissue samples. The samples are collected in a clear tissue basket for better tissue visibility.1-3
Easier Procedure2,4
Easier overall MRI breast biopsy procedure with in-room design and 75% less tubing than other MRI systems.2,4
Effortless Aperture Rotation
The probe features simplified aperture rotation via probe knob to prevent cord and tubing twisting.
User-Friendly Aperture Size and Vacuum Selection
The touch screen allows quick selection of aperture size and vacuum strength, supporting flexible procedural workflows.
Control module with dual vacuum technology
- Simple setup with screen prompts and notifications
- Excessive Gauss detection system for user assurance of secure and effective use in the MR room
- Innovative probe docking station for secure and sterile probe placement
- Single and continuous biopsy sampling modes
Probe is designed to provide confidence in every procedure
- Lightweight, ergonomic 8G x 145mm probe with aperture rotation knob to prevent cord and tubing twisting
- Half aperture setting and blunt tip supports access to superficial lesions
- Passive intraoperative fluid delivery to cavity during biopsy and vacuum cycles
- Clear and touchless tissue collection chamber for real-time confirmation of sampling
Easy to target the desired lesion with the universal targeting set5
- Obturator handle provides an ergonomic grip surface to facilitate insertion
- 8G x 145mm ceramic obturator is visible under MRI and can remain in place during imaging to verify aperture location
- Additional anesthetic may be administered through the obturator directly to the biopsy site via Luer connection
