A Great Fiducial Marker
Minimally invasive
Industry leading
thin needles
Fine needles for cytology have been used for more than 50 years, demonstrating exceptional safety and effectiveness in procedures performed across all areas of the body. Their use has consistently resulted in minimal to no harm.
Gold Anchor markers are preloaded into needles of the same fine gauge, ensuring precise placement with minimal discomfort for patients. This combination of proven technology and innovative design supports accurate marker delivery while maintaining the highest standards of patient safety and care.
Benefits
- Reduced patient discomfort – less need for anesthesia
- Less risk of infection, edema, and bleeding
- Reduced risk of pneumothorax
- Less risk of seeding of cancer cells
“The application process for Gold Anchor is much easier than for other fiducial markers. With Gold Anchor we do not have to use local anesthesia – giving local anesthesia would be more painful than implanting with the fine 22G needle.
We have between 5-8 patients per week and have had almost no infections since we started using Gold Anchors in 2009 When we started with gold markers we used prophylatic antibiotic, Ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice daily, for three days before implantation, but since autumn 2010 we use two Bactrim Forte pills as a single dose two hours before the implantation”
