Marklip: Biodegradable marker clip

Polygene’s revolutionary 5mm biodegradable marker clip marks a significant advancement in medical imaging technology, offering a sustainable solution for targeted placement within the human body.

Designed to assist in the identification of suspicious sites during procedures such as mammography, as well as for the localization of tumors in soft tissues like colorectal and lung tissue, this innovative clip provides a crucial alternative to traditional metallic markers. Unlike permanent metallic clips, Polygene’s marker clip gradually degrades within the body over time, eliminating the need for surgical removal.

This groundbreaking technology not only ensures accurate localization of lesions (visible in MRI, US and CT) but also addresses concerns regarding long-term implantation, offering a safer and more sustainable option for patients undergoing medical imaging procedures.
