MAMMOTOME HydroMark Breast Biopsy Site Marker 4010-04-09-T3

Type: This particular model (4010-04-09-T3) is an open coil marker designed for Hologic Eviva® and Brevera® biopsy systems. The open coil shape helps improve visibility in ultrasound imaging compared to other marker shapes like barrels or butterflies.

Material: It’s composed of two main parts:

• Marker: Made of titanium (nickel-free) and stainless steel, providing stability and long-term visibility.
• Carrier/Marker Plug: Made of a special hydrogel, which:
  • Hydrates for enhanced ultrasound visibility for up to 12 months, even after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
  • Is easily visible under MRI during a T2 sequence.

Compatibility: As mentioned earlier, this marker is compatible with Hologic Eviva® and Brevera® biopsy systems. It can be used with different needle gauges (9G, 12G) and deployment methods (introducer sheath, detached needle back of probe, detached needle introducer sheath).
