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 sterile device intended to be implanted within the body, either temporarily or permanently, to create identifying marks that can be seen on radiographic film or digital images. It is typically formed as a wire, needle, bead, stent-like tube or washer, 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.
