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.
