Gold Anchor

Offering the benefits of traditional fiducial soft tissue markers …

  • Accurate tumor localization using kilovoltage energy X-ray imaging,
  • allowing higher doses to the tumor - increased likelihood of cure,
  • and lower doses to adjacent organs - reduced risk

…plus superior reach to inner organs

  • Safer insertion using a fine needle (0.5 mm wide vs. 1-1.5 mm for needles used to insert traditional markers),
  • enabling passage through almost any inner organ - new patient groups reached
  • without need for local anesthesia – more time efficient procedure
  • and with less risk of infection – less painful for patients

…and more reliable localization over time

  • Strong attachment to tissue since GoldAnchor expands and “sews into place” when inserted,
  • diminishing the risk of marker displacement
  • making volume changes detectable by measuring distance between multiple markers – detection of tumor recurrences with 2D X-ray

CE marked and FDA cleared

*Fine needles for cytology have been used more than 50 years in all parts of the human body with no to very little harm.
