The instrument has two firing trigger buttons with an indicator window and safety button. The instrument is available in 14G, 16G, 18G and 20G needle sizes and 10cm, 15cm and 20cm lengths.

The InterV brand V-Mark Breast Biopsy Site Marker with Titanium Anchor is intended to mark tissue during a percutaneous breast biopsy procedure, be visible under MRI and ultrasound for at least 6 weeks, and be permanently visible by fluoroscopy.

The V-Mark Breast Biopsy Site Marker is made of a resorbable copolymer, a polyester derivative of lactic and glycolic acids. Polylactic/polyglycolic acid copolymers degrade and resorb in vivo by hydrolysis into lactic and glycolic acids, which are then metabolized by the body. The site markers are deployed through an applicator that fits in commercially available biopsy probes. The V-Mark Breast Biopsy Site Marker marks the site of biopsy tissue sample, and is visible for up to 6 weeks by x-ray, ultrasound and MRI. The body then metabolizes the marker over time. The V-Mark contains a titanium component for permanent radiographic visibility. The V-Mark Breast Biopsy Site Marker has been modified to remove the contrast agent that was incorporated into the polymer to provide radiopacity. The titanium component of the device provides for permanent radiographic visibility, eliminating the need for contrast agent in the resorbable polymer. V-Mark Breast Biopsy Site Markers are made of 75/25% poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) copolymer. No other changes have been made to the formulation other than the elimination of the contrast agent. The site markers are deployed into the biopsy needle tract using a hand held applicator with a two finger-push control rod that delivers a single marker. The site markers are deployed through an applicator that fits commercially available biopsy probes or coaxial needles including the J&J Ethicon Mammotome biopsy probe, the Pro-Mag Coaxial Introducer with Blunt Obturator, the Bio-Pince Co-axial Introducer with Blunt Obturator, the Medical Device Technologies V-Core Co-axial Introducer, and the Suros Vacuum Assisted Biopsy System. For physicians who desire to perform biopsy under ultrasound guidance, a delivery system cannula with an echogenic tip is also available for multiple coaxial applications.

The InterV brand V-Mark Breast Biopsy Site Marker with Titanium Anchor is intended to mark tissue during a percutaneous breast biopsy procedure, be visible under MRI and ultrasound for at least 6 weeks, and be permanently visible by fluoroscopy.

The V-Mark biopsy site marker is made of two components; a resorbable copolymer, a polyester derivative of lactic and glycolic acids, and a titanium anchor. Polylactic/polyglycolic acid copolymers degrade and resorb in vivo by hydrolysis into lactic and glycolic acids, which are then metabolized by the body. The titanium anchor provides a permanent component to the marker of the biopsy site. The site markers are deployed through an applicator that fits commercially available biopsy probes or coaxial needles including the J&J Ethicon Mammotome 11 gauge biopsy probe, the Pro-Mag Coaxial Introducer with Blunt Obturator, the Bio-Pince Co-axial Introducer with Blunt Obturator, and the Medical Device Technologies V-Core Co-axial Introducer. The V-Mark device marks the site of biopsy tissue sample, and is visible for up to 6 weeks by x-ray, ultrasound and MRI. The body then metabolizes the copolymer portion of the marker over time. The titanium anchor provides permanent radiographic visibility.

The CanaliZer Hydrophilic Guide Wire is designed for use in the peripheral vasculature with medical devices requiring a 0.035" or 0.038" outer diameter guidewire. The CanaliZer is not intended for use in the coronary arteries.

The guidewires are constructed from a Nitinol core coated with Tecoflex EG85-A polyurethane to provide a wire with a maximum OD of 0.035" or 0.038". The polyurethane formulation contains BaSO4 for radiopacity. A hydrophilic coating is applied to the distal portion of the guidewire to facilitate wire movement within 0.035" or 0.038" diameter devices. The guidewires are available in lengths of 150, 180 and 260 cm. Two tip shapes are also available, straight and angled. Both tip shapes are provided on wires of standard stiffness, and a stiffer design. The family of guidewires has a CE mark and is in commercial distribution in Europe.

The SnareLok Bone Marrow Biopsy Needle is intended for harvesting bone and/or bone marrow specimens.

The biopsy instrument is a sterile disposable device which features a cannula assembly containing an outer cannula with an inner spiral snare tube at the distal tip. The device has a handle with a snare lever that can be rotated 180° to engage the snare when a biopsy sample needs to be taken. Finally the device has a stationary stylet to prevent coring during advancement, and a stylet cap which mates to the handle. Three sizes are available; 8, 11 and 13 gauge needles. The 8 and 11 gauge needles are sold in 4" and 6" lengths and have a tip configuration identical to the geometry of the existing Medical Device Technologies Manan Bone and Bone Marrow Biopsy Needle. The 13 gauge needles are sold in 2" and 3" lengths and have a less tapered tip configuration identical to a bone marrow needle currently manufactured by Ranfac.

The Fibrex™ Catheter Patency Device is intended to disrupt fibrin sheath formation on both the external and internal surface of vascular access catheters, thus restoring functional patency.

The Fibrex™ Catheter Patcncy Device is a tri-axial delivery catheter assembly comprised of an outer catheter storing an inner guide structure and an inner stripping coil. The inner guide structure is for directing and guiding the stripping coil through the catheter to the free end of the catheter and back up around the exterior surface of the vascular catheter. The stripping coil is formed of a shape memory or super-elastic material, wherein the stripping coil is preformed to assume a helical shape wrapping about the outer surface of the vascular catheter in a manner providing for the stripping of build-up from the outer surface of the vascular catheter when the stripping coil is moved relative to the vascular catheter. The tri-axial delivery catheter assembly is attached to an injection molded plastic hand assembly that controls the movement of the guide catheter and subsequent insertion of the stripping coil. The delivery catheter assembly is adapted for selectively coupling to a luer connector secured to the venous lumen of a traditional vascular catheter. The outer catheter of the Fibrex™ device is made from a biocompatible Polyimid/PTFF. composite. The inner dual lumen tube is made from nylon. A Nitinol wire is housed in one lumen of the guide curve catheter to provide directional memory for the actuation and operation of the Nitinol stripping coil . Both the outer catheter and the guide catheter contain distal marking bands made from gold.
