HydroMARK™ Plus
Breast Biopsy Site Marker
Offering the unmatched benefits of the original HydroMARK™ markers, with added features to enhance clinician confidence.
Proven HydroMARK™ Marker Performance Meets Thoughtful Innovation
Attaches to Tissue
Exposed ‘wings’ are designed to anchor to the tissue upon deployment to mitigate displacement during surgical excision.1
Enhanced Distinguishability
The Dragonfly™ and Hummingbird™ clip shapes are distinct and discernably man-made to breast anatomy, providing enhanced distinguishability under 2D and 3D mammography.2
Visibility Upon Deployment
The titanium clips’ shape and size enhance immediate ultrasound visibility at the time of deployment.2
Same Trusted Hydrogel
Hydrogel carrier hydrates within 24 hours to provide the same unmatched ultrasound visibility as the original HydroMARK™ marker.3 Hydrogel appears strikingly anechoic under ultrasound and uniquely bright white on T2 MRI sequence.4
What Clinicians are Saying:
“Under ultrasound, the HydroMARK™ Plus marker is clearly visible as parallel hyperechoic wings, easily differentiated from other clips in the breast. This unique shape allows rapid detection in the operating room, improving efficiency and intraoperative localization.”
