Women's imaging vendor Hologic has announced a distribution partnership with Somatex for biopsy products.
Hologic will add selected Somatex Tumark biopsy site markers to its portfolio of breast cancer screening and interventional products. The agreement includes exclusive distribution rights for the Tumark Professional X, Q, Vision, and Flex markers and application devices for the U.S.
The markers are made of a nonresorbing nitinol material that expands into a distinct marker shape upon deployment into the breast. They are visible on ultrasound, mammography, and MRI.
