Interventional device developer Ethicon Endo-Surgery has released Mammotome MR, an MRI-guided breast biopsy device, in the U.S.
The product utilizes a biopsy needle equipped with a vacuum device that uses MRI guidance to partially or completely cut, vacuum, and remove suspicious breast tissue for evaluation, according to the Cincinnati-based firm. The procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis, the company said.
