HydroMARK

Benefits fact sheet:

• 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

For Patients:

Better Visibility, Better Results

• No breast compression is necessary if your doctor performs the wire localization under ultrasound
• The polymer is biocompatible and completely resorbable
• The wire localization under ultrasound rather than mammography is faster and more comfortable
• A shorter procedure time means a shorter time to have radiation exposure
