The SiteSelect Stereotactic Breast Biopsy System is the first breast biopsy device that captures a single intact core of suspect breast tissue without removing a large core of healthy breast tissue. It is designed to make breast biopsy a simple, minimally invasive procedure that is easier and potentially less disfiguring for patients than other surgical biopsy procedures.
SiteSelect offers:
Partial or complete* removal of imaged lesion/target tissue as a single core, with the lesion intact allowing enhanced accuracy and confidence in pathologic diagnosis
Preservation of healthy breast tissue to help improve cosmetic results
Simplicity of operation- no motors or vacuums are required
Tactile feedback to the operator throughout procedure
Single procedure performed under local anesthesia outside the OR
Interface with all prone stereotactic imaging tables.

* The scope of the histological abnormality is not able to be determined from it's mammographic appearance. Therefore, it is essential that the tissue margins be examined for margin involvement and completeness of removal in cases where the tissue sample is not found to be benign. SiteSelect is for diagnostic use only.
