HydroMARK™ Breast Biopsy Site Markers

Highly Visible

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

HydroMARK markers are uniquely distinguishable during a T2 sequence.4
