BiomarC®
BIOPSY SITE MARKERS
All-natural design in a small size, ideal for superficial lesions.
BiomarC® Biopsy Site Markers
Delivers a More Complete Image
Features a non-ferromagnetic composition that leads to less blooming artifact, which can interfere with interpretation of MR images.
Enables Enhanced UItrasound Visibility
The BiomarC® marker provides permanent enhanced ultrasound visibility versus other bare metal-only markers due to the proprietary Pyrolytic Carbon Coating.
Provides a Natural, Non-Metal Composition
Composed of a Zirconium-Oxide for strength and unique imaging characteristics with a Pyrolytic Carbon Coating, the BiomarC® marker is the natural choice for your patients.1, 2, 3, 4
Offers a Safe, Nickel-Free Alternative
The BiomarC® marker is a great option for patients, even the 10-20% of the general population with nickel sensitivity.
