Beacon Tissue Marker/Beacon Tissue Marker (SE) is a sterile, single patient use, PEKK discrete marker that is visible on standard radiographs (x-ray, mammography) aswell as ultrasound, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) at up to 3.0 Tesla field strength. Beacon Tissue Marker/Beacon Tissue Marker (SE) is placed into soft tissue during open, percutaneous, or endoscopic procedures to radiographically mark a surgical location. Beacon Tissue Marker/Beacon Tissue Marker (SE) is supplied pre-loaded in the delivery device. The Beacon Tissue Marker delivery device has a beveled 12cm/14G needle with 1cm depth marks and a plunger. The Beacon Tissue Marker (SE) delivery device has a radiused tip 12cm/14G cannula with 1cm depth marks anda plunger.
A device intended to be implanted within the body, either temporarily or permanently, to create identifying marks that can be seen on radiological images. It is typically in the form of a wire, needle, bead, clip, stent-like tube, washer or fluid, and used to locate and delineate a tumour, lesion, or other site of interest. It is made from materials compatible with the imaging system with which it is intended to be used [e.g., magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), x-ray, or nuclear medicine]; it may be intended for use during radiotherapy procedures. It is not an electromagnetic or optical spatial marker.
