Breast Tissue Marker & Breast Tissue Fiducial Markers
BiomarC® Markers are designed to improve accuracy and efficiency in breast radiation therapy. They provide maximum versatility for modalities and treatments such as IGRT/IMRT, proton therapy, CT, MRI and portal imaging. Areas marked with BiomarC® markers provide clear, visual landmarks with no uncertainty between healthy tissue and the target area.
They are ideal for:
Lesion localisation
Marking surgical sites or margin areas
Confirming tumour shrinkage and final excision
Marking tumours at the time of diagnosis
Breast Tissue Markers
BiomarC® Breast Tissue Marker Device
Bar-bell shaped, pyrolytic carbon–coated ceramic marker
Exceptional biocompatibility with no reported allergies or hypersensitivity
Unique shapes designed to prevent migration
Clear, permanent visibility on mammography, ultrasound, MRI, and tomosynthesis
Produces less artifact than metal markers and does not interfere with MRI
Available in three size configurations
Compatible with core biopsy and vacuum-assisted biopsy devices (VAB)
Intended Uses
Targeting lesions during neo-adjuvant chemotherapy
Marking site after tumour removal
Marking micro-calcification areas after VAB
Marking suspicious lesions after core biopsy
Providing orientation for radiation therapy planning
BiomarC® IGRT Radiotherapy: Fiducial Marker for Radiation Therapy
Used for localisation of lesions or organs that move relative to external anatomy
Pure gold, specially knurled cylindrical version to inhibit migration
Pyrolytic carbon–coated zirconium oxide or tantalum barbell version helps reduce imaging artifacts
Provides visualisation under fluoroscopy, X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound and other imaging modalities
Available preloaded in a pre-waxed needle or in a wax-free version
BiomarC® EX reduces artifacts in the MV setting
BiomarC® Pro is ideal for Proton or Photon therapy
Breast Tissue Fiducial Markers
BiomarC® Enhance
Designed for customers who use MRI for treatment planning. BiomarC® Enh enjoys all the same benefits as our legacy BiomarC®, while providing a superior reference for MRI image fusion
This marker is designed for soft tissue localisation using kV imaging
Easily visible on MRI
Available preloaded in a needle or individually packaged for flexibility in placement
Available in a 1x3mm and 1x5mm configuration
BiomarC® Gold
Our gold fiducial markers are used as a tool to aid in tumour localisation
99.9% pure gold
Bright imaging characteristics making it easier to identify through dense tissue
Knurlised surface to help minimise migration
Available in several sizes
Sold sterile individually or in pre-loaded needle
BiomarC® Secure
Feel confident with the reliable placement of “BiomarC® Secure”. BiomarC®, the industry’s only ceramic fiducial marker, now has the ability to be sutured to soft tissue. The precise nature of a marker sutured to the affected tissue allows for the ultimate benefit in precision radiation therapy.
Carbon coated for exceptional biocompatibility
Ceramic core to minimise artifact and dose perturbation
Superior radiographic visibility under multiple imaging modalities
BiomarC® Ex
One of our newest markers; it provides excellent visibility for both kV and MV imaging. This marker is manufactured with a slightly denser core material allowing for enhanced daily images. It can be especially helpful on larger patients or patients with bony or implant interference with treatment planning.
Exceptional material combination reduces artifact
Excellent visibility allowing for tighter margins and increased dosing
Extraordinary biocompatibility with the pyrolytic carbon outer coating
Available in a 0.9x5mm and 1x5mm configuration
BiomarC® Pro
Uniquely designed for the special needs of a Proton centre; this marker is manufactured to minimise artifact and perturbation. It is designed for soft tissue localisation using kV imaging
Exclusive material compatible to proton beam
Precise localisation
Easily visible and available in multiple lengths for versatility
Available in a 0.9x5mm, 1x5mm and 1x10mm configuration
