Breast tissue markers

Ensure consistency of care with breast tissue markers
Ensure consistency of care with breast tissue markers
Performing biopsies without markers can lead to unnecessary procedures, challenges in monitoring, and compromised treatment planning down the line16-18

Prevent re-biopsy of benign tumours19

Evaluate a tumor's size19

Differentiate lesions19

Increase precision during surgery19

Improve long-term care & follow-up clarity16-19

Use breast tissue markers together with VAB to give your patients the greatest possible chance of avoiding unnecessary anxiety and delays in the breast biopsy process9,12,16-19

Invest in VAB and breast tissue markers to protect against costs of repeat procedures

While there is an increased upfront cost to VAB and breast tissue markers, their use may save time and money in the long term due to consistent avoidance of repeat procedures.2,9,12,13,16-19,20,21

A retrospective study of 1443 ultrasound-guided diagnostic breast biopsies showed that significantly more patients who had CNB vs. VAB requested further surgical removal of a benign finding (7.5% vs. 1.2%; p<0.001).13

Ultrasound-guided VAB has a lower mean cost per cancer diagnosis than 14-gauge spring-loaded CNB.22
VAB's economic costs are 82% lower than a surgical biopsy.20,21
The time spent by patients undergoing VAB was 71% lower than the time spent undergoing diagnostic surgery.20,21
