Breast tissue markers
Tumark® family – precise marking of breast lesions
Markers from the Tumark family are used for marking biopsy sites and suspicious lesions in the breast tissue.18-gauge thin, sharp puncture cannulas enable precise marking and ensure minimally invasive treatment. The ergonomic handle design allows for single-handed use under ultrasound-guidance.
Due to their shapes, the markers anchor firmly in the tissue and are detectable in ultrasound, X-ray and MRI. All markers are made from the biocompatible implant material Nitinol and remain visible in the tissue.

Case studies
The Tumark Vision Atlas contains case studies of the Tumark Vision biopsy site marker and provides clinical information. The long-term visibility of a biopsy site marker is particularly important in neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Some of the following case studies report this application scenario.
