The HydroMARK™ is the only biodegradable hydrogel polymer containing a central permanent metal marker that accurately marks a breast biopsy site.

The HydroMARK™ is so visible under ultrasound, doing a wire loc under ultrasound will become your first choice
Does not contain collagen, which is known to cause scarring
The HydroMARK™ is echogenic when first deployed but becomes hypoechoic once it is hydrated
The marker expands in length and diameter after it is deployed, anchoring it within the biopsy cavity
The metal portion of the marker is visible on the follow-up mammogram but the polymer portion is not

The HydroMARK™ Advantage

Since the HydroMARK™ absorbs greater than 90% water after deployment, there will be no confusion whether or not you've located the marker
Ultrasound wire localization is faster than mammography guided wire localization
The HydroMARK™ will not be confused with a breast cyst as it is rod shaped, not round, and contains a central echogenic metal
The HydroMARK™ will not be confused with a breast cancer or solid nodule both of which are hyperechoic and often associated with shadowing
Currently the HydroMARK™ is compatible with the 11 gauge Mammotome™, Suros ATEC® 12 gauge, and Ultrasound direct puncture or through 13 gauge coaxial introducer needle.
